In Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries, women are particularly affected by food insecurity (FI). This gender gap can be amplified at certain key periods in life, particularly during pregnancy, with negative consequences on maternal and infant health. In the current geopolitical and health context, it is essential to take stock of the prevalence of FI among pregnant women in this region and the associated economic and psychosocial determinants. From 168 publications identified on Pubmed and Scopus, this systematic review selected 13 publications in 7 LAC countries.

The article highlights that urban environments, while historically shaped by colonialism and displacement, are now vital spaces for Indigenous resurgence and self-determination. Through innovative, community-driven food sovereignty initiatives, urban Indigenous groups are revitalizing traditional knowledge, strengthening cultural identity, and fostering healing relationships with land.

By reclaiming agency over their food systems and nurturing intergenerational connections, urban Indigenous communities are building inclusive, sustainable futures rooted in ancestral wisdom and ecological stewardship.
