It provides an overview on the international legal framework of indigenous peoples’ right to food and discusses issues of concern from a right to food perspective. The purpose of this study is to inform indigenous peoples, UN staff working on indigenous peoples’ issues or the right to food, development practitioners and academia interested in these issues.
