- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Peoples have managed complex, healthy and equitable food systems since time immemorial.
- Indigenous food systems are highly diverse, embedded within more than 250 locally specific language, cultural and family systems.
- Advancing culturally relevant and appropriate data will enhance the ability to report definitively on the state and resilience of Indigenous food systems.
- Prioritising bottom-up reporting that engages and reflects the diverse food system priorities of Indigenous communities will foster more authentic, inclusive and effective outcomes.
