Expertise

Our strongest asset lies in our capacity to offer cross-cultural perspectives on food-related topics.

Food Security

We engage in dialogue that bridges South-North realities, underscoring our commitment to ensuring that every individual—regardless of geographic or economic circumstances—has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more equitable and resilient global food system. By fostering partnerships and sharing knowledge across borders, we aim to dismantle barriers and promote inclusivity within the food sector.

Food, Health and Environment

The intersection of food, health, and the environment through an interdisciplinary lens encompasses an examination of how dietary choices influence both personal well-being and ecological sustainability. We investigate the complex relationships among agricultural practices, nutrition, and environmental health, with the goal of formulating strategies that promote a balanced ecosystem and healthier communities.

Food Cultures and Culinary Heritage

We embrace a comprehensive cultural approach by analyzing the significance of culture, culinary traditions, and heritage. Our primary aim is to promote practices that are culturally meaningful, socially equitable, and environmentally sustainable. We believe in the power of collaboration and innovation to develop impactful food research initiatives. By partnering with diverse communities and leveraging local knowledge, we seek to support projects that address critical challenges within food systems and contribute to a more equitable future.

Intersection Lens

The lens of intersections in social research entails exploring the myriad ways in which social dynamics, cultural influences, and economic factors converge to impact food systems and access. By investigating these intersections, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding food equity and devise strategies that target the root causes of food insecurity. This comprehensive approach underscores that issues pertaining to food extend beyond mere nutrition; they also encompass social justice, community empowerment, and sustainable development. Through collaborative efforts and innovative research, we strive to develop inclusive solutions that foster equitable access to healthy food for all communities.
