Summary

The Embera indigenous people from Colombia combine products from their jungle surroundings and food purchased at the market in their diet. The violence of the national conflict has an impact on the indigenous society with forced displacement and internal confinement, which infringe on food security. This leads to a dependency on food donations and to an increase in the consumption of bananas.
