Event Description :
 "Food Cultures and Transformative Governance" LILA PRISM Lecture by Pushpesh Pant.
As part of LILA PRISM Series.

Abstract Food is a common fibre connecting great culinary, medical and religious traditions as well as local heritages that form and continue small communities revolving around shared indigenous knowledge. Food is the key to many cultures in India and the language of food, including practices in food production, processing, consumption, and conservation, is central to cultural identities in the country. This lecture will examine how food as cultural heritage can provide valuable insights towards governance thinking, social cohesion and revitalisation in our times. It will also try to address the diverging and changing economic, social-political and cultural meanings of food heritage.
