The Locavore‘s Projects engage with challenges in the Indian food system. Through our projects, we hope to create long-lasting impact built on research, knowledge, and collaboration. With food at its heart, our work is multidimensional, intersecting with sustainability, communities and livelihoods, the climate crisis, and documenting culinary traditions.
