This GFAR Talk considers how forgotten foods and the knowledge associated with them can be a vehicle for transformation of the global Agrifood System and empower farmers to be the agents of change.

The topic will contribute directly to the theme of the World Food Forum `healthy diets, healthy planet’ and highlight opportunities for the wider adoption of a diverse range of climate-resilient and nutritious crops and novel farming systems that have lower impacts on natural and managed ecosystems.
