“…In addition, such a research partnership allows compliance with Article 29, as Indigenous Australians have the right to the productive capacity of their land. It provides opportunities for communities to produce food from their land, support and create new businesses and develop the economic status of the community which will contribute to societal goals as well as economic growth (36,37).…”

Australia is a rich source of biodiverse native plants that are mostly unstudied by western food science despite many of them being ethnofoods of Australian Indigenous people. Finding and understanding the relevant policy and legal requirements to scientifically assess these plants in a responsible way is a major challenge for food scientists. This work aims to give an overview of what the legal and policy framework is in relation to food chemistry on Australian native plant foods, to clarify the relationships between the guidelines, laws, policies and ethics and to discuss some of the challenges they present in food chemistry. This work provides the framework of Indigenous rights, international treaties, federal and state laws and ethical guidelines including key legislation and guidelines. It discusses the specific areas that are applicable to food chemistry: the collection of plant foods, the analysis of the samples and working with Indigenous communities. This brief perspective presents a framework that can be utilized by food chemists when developing responsible research involving plant foods native to northern Australia and can help them understand some of the complexity of working in this research area.

“…This interest has been enshrined in international instruments such as the Nagoya Protocol which aims to protect the rights of indigenous people to benefit from commercial use of the native species about which they have indigenous knowledge and traditional cultural interests [66]. In Australia, Indigenous ecological knowledge has resulted in a significant commercial development of over fifteen native food species, including, desert raisins, macadamias and Kakadu Plum [65,67,68]. This has stimulated Indigenous interest for exploring further options for economic development through the commercialization of additional native plant species.…”

Commercial Cultivation of Australian Wild Oryza spp.: A Review and Conceptual Framework for Future Research Needs

et al. 2021

Wild Oryza species are being targeted for commercial cultivation due to their high nutritional grain profile, and their association with Aboriginal people in many regions. Australian wild Oryza species have potential as high-value, low-volume, culturally identified, and nutritious food, especially in gourmet food, tourism, restaurants, and value-added products. However, the basic agronomic protocols for their cultivation as a field crop are unknown. In this review, we identify the major factors supporting the commercial production of wild Oryza, including their stress-tolerant capacity, excellent grain quality attributes, and Indigenous cultural identification of their grains. The key challenges to be faced during the development of a wild rice industry are also discussed which include management barriers, processing issues, undesirable wild traits, and environmental concern. This manuscript proposes the use of agronomic research, in combination with breeding programs, as an overarching framework for the conceptualization and implementation of a successful wild rice industry, using the North American wild rice industry as a case study. The framework also suggests an integrated system that connects producers, industry, and government stakeholders. The suggested procedures for developing a wild rice industry in Australia are also applicable for other wild Oryza species.

“…Finally, the use of Indigenous branding may be a potential value‐adding opportunity — particularly for native food products such as the Kakadu plum (see, e.g., Gorman et al., 2020) — including supply to the tourism industry (Craw, 2008; Moginon et al., 2012). However, this raises a number of complex issues around the use of Indigenous branding and how, and to whom, benefits should accrue (see Drahos and Frankel, 2012), as well as strategic issues around how to capitalize on such branding.…”

Financialization for Development? Asset Making on Indigenous Land in Remote Northern Australia

Indigenous Australian landowners are increasingly seeking to develop agricultural production on their lands to improve the welfare and economic opportunities of their communities. This can require substantial capital input and, in the absence of enough government funding, Indigenous groups are turning to private investors. Development literature has explored private sector-led and 'financialized' approaches to development at a macro level as something that is done to communities; however, less research has examined how remote communities themselves seek to develop their natural assets through partnerships with businesses and with global finance. This article examines the work being done to prepare land for external investment. It provides an example of emergent assetization processes being undertaken outside the financial sector, driven by social outcomes seemingly beyond the domain of shareholder value. Paradoxically, individuals engaged in these asset-making processes may oppose the withdrawal of direct funding for community development associated with a financialization of development, yet they are left with few options but to further these efforts by seeking private finance themselves -facilitating financialization for development. This interaction of structural effects and local agency complicates narratives of financialization as they are commonly presented and has important implications for Indigenous economic development in Northern Australia.
