Food insecurity and malnutrition remain pressing global challenges. Approximately 2.6 billion people are unable to afford a healthy diet, which costs an estimated $4.46 purchasing power parity per person per day, compared with the $3.0 poverty line. Approximately 638 to 720 million people remain undernourished [,]. Despite some progress, the world is off-track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 targets on ending hunger and improving nutrition, while simultaneously grappling with the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution []. Additionally, growing competition for natural resources, new forms of conflict, forced displacement and migration, widening inequalities, declining trust, weakened institutions, and an increasingly multipolar global order are creating a polycrisis with implications for human and planetary health []. Indigenous populations are disproportionately affected by these challenges. Paradoxically, although many live in biodiversity-rich regions, they experience marked health and nutrition disparities. For instance, the incidence of type 2 diabetes among American Indian and Alaska Native children and youth aged between 10 and 19 y was 10 times higher than that for their non-Hispanic White counterparts in 2012, as against twice that among adults, and life expectancy 5 to 10 y lower [,]. A similar pattern is evident in India. Infant mortality rates among scheduled tribes (STs) in India was 41.6 per 1000 live births in 2019 to 2021 as against 35.2 for nontribes, with Jharkhand, where this study is located, showing a higher gap of 8.7 percentage points [, see Table 6.1: 126]. Among adults too, one quarter (25.5%) of ST women aged 15 to 49 y had low BMI (in kg/m) and 64% were anemic, both indicators were ∼7 percentage points higher than the aggregate [, see Tables 6.4 and 6.5, pp 132–133]. Although 90% of “Adivasi” (self-defined term for Indigenous or tribal) populations live in forested areas, >40% lie below the poverty line as compared with 20% of nontribal populations []. Malnutrition and communicable diseases, such as malaria and tuberculosis, remain rampant due to poor social and economic access to the required nutrients and health care services. There is simultaneously, however, a growing consumption of cheap, ultraprocessed foods and drinks, which could be contributing to a rising incidence of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and mental illness [,].
