A $1.5 million collaboration between Indigenous Traditional Owners and Custodians and The University of Queensland will boost the burgeoning bushfood industry, and create long-lasting Indigenous businesses.

Indigenous peoples’ lands may harbour a significant proportion of threatened and endangered species globally, according to University of Queensland-led research.

Archaeologists are generating a 65,000-year-old rainfall record from ancient food scraps found at Australia’s earliest-known site of human occupation.

University of Queensland researchers will help Indigenous businesses develop markets for native bushfoods and ornamental plants, nurture Indigenist Health Humanities as a new field of inquiry, and provide a framework for the new co-design approach being implemented across Indigenous policy domains.
