Fishing is one of the oldest and most important cultural and socio-economic activities in Galapagos.
We share with you some information about this activity in Galapagos:
An adequate diet is essential for the health, well-being, and development of the Galapagos community.
The inhabitants of the islands have the right to a varied and balanced diet that provides the necessary nutrients to lead a healthy and active life that satisfies its cultural preferences.
The food system concept is relatively new and is under continuous revision and construction. However, it is now increasingly accepted that a food system consists of all the elements (environment, population, resources, processes, institutions, and infrastructure) and activities related to the production, marketing, processing, distribution, preparation, consumption, governance, and knowledge; as well as the results of these activities in regards to nutrition, emotional and physical health, socioeconomic growth, equity, and environmental sustainability.
In the CFI - CF Ecuador project, we are understanding the process of the food system in the Galapagos through a participative and holistic approach, mainly focusing on its insularity.
Today, we live in a serious economic and social inequality that has a greater impact on women worldwide. In Latin America, for example, the pandemic has reduced the possibility of women’s participation in the workplace, reaching figures from 20 years ago. These figures replicate and exponentially reproduce many cases in the Galapagos Islands.
To learn more about these impacts, we invite you to see the discussion “The Role of Women in the Food Systems of Galapagos”: in this event, six valuable women were invited to discuss the challenges and achievements within their projects in different productive sectors, as well as the value chain in the Galapagos food systems.
