Indian Food Anthropology And the Eat Right Movement Vol. 1

Description

This book is in tandem with the current National movement of India, “Be Vocal for Local”. It is based on the principle that food, anthropology (culture), agriculture, and health are all interconnected. For planning a good diet chart, we must understand regional crops, food choices, and traditions. Many food habits and ancient foods and food systems followed by the indigenous people of India, have health benefits and were resilient.

The book has contributions from over 64 Nutritionists, Dieticians, Sociologists, Botanist, Anthropologists, and Historians across India, and will be a very useful reference book for Students, Practicing Dieticians/Nutritionists, Anthropologists, Community Development Professionals, and Policymakers/Bureaucrats, and anyone who has the desire to learn about the rich culture of India.
