This paper addresses how urban indigenous people in Leticia develop strategies in order to access the traditional foods they cannot produce in the city. Through the establishment of food exchange networks they obtain food from the forest and also extend their alliances and build other social and gender relationships in a constantly changing urban environment. The study of these networks enables an understanding of how indigenous people interact and adapt to the city, and also how they transform it and make it "edible". https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472X50
