What is FPIC?
FPIC is short for Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the FPIC “is a specific right that pertains to indigenous peoples and is recognized in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). It allows them to give or withhold consent to a project that may affect them or their territories.”
