Food

    We have always been telling and retelling of food stories. Food is as universal as it is diverse. The commonality of food allows us to connect across the divide, even while the uniqueness of food allows us to retain our differentiated identity. Like language, food can create shared understandings, but this should never be at the expense of the rich heritage of local dialects. Food enables us to express who we are and where we are, to tell the tale of how we got there and what lies ahead. Food links us to the chain of life. It connects us to the land and binds us to our cultures. It emphasises our interdependence with nature and stresses the unity of humanity.
