. Where Indigenous Peoples have access to and control over their lands and natural resources, food systems can potentially be more sustainably managed and more resilient  . For example, on Solomon Islands, community-based adaptation combining with IK-informed community mapping helped boost agricultural yields sustainably , and in China people living in rich plant resource regions have used their wild plants IK to complement the decrease of crop yields during extreme droughts to ensure food security . These cases have led scientists and local communities to call for more practical actions to bridge local knowledge, IK and formal science . Despite this increased public and scientific recognition, IK is often not acknowledged or used.
