Design: Informed by qualitative interviews with three licensed CM practitioners and one biomedical clinician working in such clinics, the work provides a descriptive account of clinical operations, and thematically explores operational successes and challenges. Aligned with decolonial principles, this work examines the delivery of Chinese Medicine (CM) care-an East Asian Indigenous therapeutic approach-in Indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada. In recent years, an increasing number of Indigenous-led health services have emerged, which-informed by decolonial principles, including "culture-as-cure"-holistically center local Indigenous cultural, spiritual, and. Objectives: Owing to colonization's impacts, Indigenous Peoples in Canada face a disproportionate share of health challenges and suffer inequitable access to health care today.
Applied to a variety of similar native products, such a production system has potential to make a substantial contribution to niche areas of global food and livelihood security. We conclude that this system would ideally operate at a landscape scale to ensure sustainability of harvest, maintenance of important patterns and processes for landscape health, and incorporate cultural and livelihood objectives. We do this through a case analysis of the wild harvest of Kakadu plum fruit by Aboriginal people across the tropical savannas of northern Australia. We demonstrate how indigenous practices of customary harvest, operating in multifunctional landscapes, can be scaled up to service new markets while still maintaining natural and cultural values. In planning for future agricultural models, it is worth exploring indigenous agricultural heritage systems that have demonstrated success in community food security without major environmental impacts. Approaches to production are needed that are holistic and multisectoral. conservation of environmental and cultural values. Despite advances in technology and innovation in agriculture, governments around the world are recognizing a need for transformative agricultural systems that offer solutions to the interrelated issues of food security, climate change, and. Globally, the agricultural sector is facing many challenges in response to climate change, unsustainable farming practices and human population growth.
