Documentation of wild forest foods with Adivasi women
We have started the exciting work on documenting wild forest foods with Adivasi women and youth at the Adukkam Centre. Over the past few months, we have been able to produce informative posters that show various wild foods that can be used for subsistence and to supplement diets.
Adivasi women are leading the way in training the next generation to identify and forage food from the forest. Such interactions enable the youth to learn from their elders about the uses of various plants and plant parts.
By doing conservation work focused on food, we are able to aid inter-generational interactions that facilitate the transfer of traditional ecological knowledge between Adivasi women and the youth. This is very important in terms of nurturing interest in culture and tradition, and as well as for food food security and health. We share and attach to this report the output of our field documentation on forest foods.
In the coming months, we hope to facilitate more workshops to document wild foods in the area. We look forward to your support and invite you to be part of our efforts to rejuvenate and sustain wild foods in India.
