🌱🌾 Preserving Indigenous Food Heritage of Nepal

Yesterday, we successfully concluded one of our indigenous food heritage workshops in Gandaki Province. Despite challenging and difficult circumstances of the recent days, we were able to gather together to complete the workshop that we started last week.

In these rapidly changing times, when the knowledge traditions of the Indigenous peoples is eroding very quickly, its imperative that the younger generations become aware of their heritage so that they take custodianship to carry the tradition forward. We highly appreciate that the school and the students remained committed and prioritised this workshop in a very busy school programme with the upcoming exams and holiday.

The food menu for the workshop consisted of traditional millet roti, jhilinga, foraged ferns, soybean and fermented spinach of gundruk. As our food provider, we are so pleased to continue our support to indigenous women who uphold traditional food knowledge.
