🌿Last week, we had an amazing in-person meeting in the Central Amazon rainforest! It was great to connect with new and old colleagues from our network. Though we work virtually, these in-person moments help us learn, bond, and plan for the future. Stay tuned for what's coming!🌍

In this day of Indigenous resistance, we officially launch IPON, a network of Indigenous and non indigenous researchers, government officials, NGOs, and International organizations to transform the way we understand the food-climate-health Nexus with and for Indigenous Peoples.
