Greetings from Annam !!!
Dr. Vandana Shiva
Chairperson, ANNAM
‘Annam’, food, is considered sacred in India, also in many other
cultures. Traditional food cultures have their innate strengths
and are often highly scientific for a given culture and region.
These are being vanquished by the spreading fast food culture
and earnest efforts to deter these are now a top priority.
Devastating effects of corporate driven foods and farming
systems have turned agriculture into an extractive industry and
food into a major health hazard. We are poorer as the
biodiversity of our farms disappears and as the cultural
diversity of our food systems vanish. ‘The Annam’- Good Food
Movement launched in Thiruvananthapuram in 2008 which aims at
addressing this scenario is entering its next phase.
