INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ FOOD SYSTEMS FOR HEALTH PROMOTION: TARGETING POLICY MAKERS
2007 MEETING OF CASE STUDY PARTNERS
February 12 -17, 2007
BELLAGIO STUDY AND CONFERENCE CENTER, BELLAGIO, ITALY
Academic and community partners met in Bellagio, Italy. All partners shared project experiences and brainstormed best ways to get project results to policy. We found working together very encouraging and nutritious for the spirit and helped us to discover new ideas. Once again we found that all case studies share a physical and spiritual connection to the land and share challenges and opportunities to maintaining that connection. Plans began for publication of phase 2 data with case studies carrying out health promotion interventions. We are very thankful to The Rockefeller Foundation for once again hosting our meeting.
