  1. Italian cooking as part of the world's "intangible" cultural heritage

    No, it is not Australian/British foods (Vegemite on toast, meat pies, BBQs, Fish & Chips and Chiko Rolls)

    * "It is a communal activity that emphasizes intimacy with food, respect for ingredients, and shared moments around the table. The practice is rooted in anti-waste recipes and the transmission of flavours, skills and memories across generations. " >>

  2. @ipbes highlights conserving & regenerating places of value to nature and people as vital for #TransformativeChange. But where are these places? Our study from India shows they’re found not only in remote areas— but also in megacities. Our study shows that urban lakes, ponds & canals provide essential livelihood support for marginalised communities. Their foraging practices & knowledge sustain #BioculturalDiversity & hold transformative potential for urban food systems.

    "Coming Home is a once-in-a-generation campaign, a chance to bring our Quw’utsun (Cowichan) Elders back to live in our traditional territory in Xwaaqw’um (Burgoyne Bay) for the first time in 150 years."
