The article explores the impact of food (inter)activism in the Marquesas, French Polynesia, on planetary health, justice, and cultural sovereignty. It discusses how Western interventions have disrupted traditional foodways and Indigenous systems of planetary health, leading to health and environmental challenges. The Marquesans are adapting to global health advocacy while preserving their cultural traditions through revitalizing traditional foodways and engaging in food (inter)activism. The article highlights the complex interplay between cultural identity, health, and environmental justice in the Marquesas, emphasizing the importance of local approaches to global health and environmental initiatives.
