Abstract :
The knowledge of indigenous foods is very
important for sustainable transformation of global food
system, but it remains continually under emphasized in
policies and practice. Improved comprehension of local
indigenous food system alongside an all-inclusive
repetition of its conservation as well as political
enunciation of indigenous representation is key to
ensuring the passage of this knowledge the between
generations. Secondary data collection was used for this
review which was exhaustive. Research has it that
Indigenous people conserve about 80% of the world’s
biodiversity especially in food and their knowledge
systems have advanced side by side the ecosystems,
guiding most agricultural and other livelihood practices.
The survival of children after a plane crash in the
amazon rainforest, called for a probe on how these children survived the forest for forty days. The aim if
this study is to review briefly and show the need to
include indigenous knowledge of local foods in our
primary school curriculum, as a support food system
and a coping strategy in adverse nutrition emergencies.
Lessons from the amazon plane crash survivors (the
amazon miracle children). Using the review method of
study, the research on this study found out that, the
children aged between 1-9years, survived on high energy
flour called yuca and farine which was left on the
crashed plane, they also did eat fruits from the forest to
get their micronutrients, they ensured that they had
drinking water to avoid organ damage, and also
protected themselves from infections. The children’s
indigenous knowledge of local foods, helped them to
know what foods to eat and which not to so as to avoid
poisoning. These knowledge if included in primary
curriculum could help boost children’s nutritional
status, reduce malnutrition, and intervene in dare
nutrition emergency situations.
