Food Security Based on Indigenous Knowledge in Papua New Guinea

Indigenous communities have been adapting for centuries to climate change and extreme weather. Therefore, they have valuable traditional knowledge on how to survive during the drought and other disaster impacts. IOM and NDC with support from USAID work closely with indigenous communities in Papua New Guinea to harness this knowledge to build resilience to environmental shocks. This series of photographs reveals some of the indigenous knowledge on local sources of food and its preparation that has worked during drought periods.
