Maintaining the Roots: Preserving India's Food Culture

India's food culture is built on tradition, sustainability, and coexisting with nature. There exist traditional practices that have helped bring seasonally and climatically motivated consumption of local food to the region, thereby creating ecological balance and well-being. From organic millet cultivation to the age-old ways of preservation and energy food amla and sattu, the traditional Indian cuisine educates us on how to make the world and our body healthy. This cuisine philosophy educates us on how to cultivate well-being with love for the planet and tradition.

" Sustaining the Roots: Celebrating India's Food Heritage " is a revolution where India's sustainable and healthy food cultures like consuming food seasonally, and fermentation of food are promoted.

In all these senses, food is not just sustenance; it is space within health, building health and vigor in the entire system, and thereby immense respect for the healing power of nature.

The objective of this campaign is to evoke awareness about the 'very importance' of indigenous Indian food habits as a health and ecologically innocuous method. By linking them with practices, we can learn more about their nutritional and ecological value. This movement gives all of us a platform to look back, remember, and avail ourselves of the values of food practices of the past on the basis of our thousand-year-old civilizations, giving power to the future generations so that everyone can take advantage of this for a healthier and greener future.
