A very happy #WorldHealthDay, dear Locavores! Is there a particular dish that you associate with food that is comforting and nourishing? For us at @TheLocavoreIn, a hearty soup comes to mind instantly. thelocavore.in/2023/04/06/kr… #MilletRevivalProject @RainmatterOrg

These are examples of the bountiful #agrobiodiversity & the rich #TraditionalKnowledge of #ShiftingCultivation farmers of #Nagaland. Is @MyGovNagaland including the farming sector as an industrial or business opportunity during the #B20India meet? #G20India

It's a good thing that sohra is getting recognition but such gross wrong misrepresentation is very dangerous. The accent of the old man sounds Assamese not khasi. Are the actors even Khasi? I am not sure. This ad is very wrong.

The unique ethnic Naga, Khasi and Assamese cuisine offered by NESFAS under the NERAMAC banner at the Annapoorna Anufood Festival, Mumbai was a runaway success. Hats off to the Chefs and their assistants.#ministryofdoner #northeastIndia #cmoassam @MOFPI_GOI @NEC_GoI

Partnering with @NESFAS and the ELP Foundation, the idea of this project will also be to understand the scope for further research & development of the rice species so that large-scale cultivation could be made possible with the help of local communities.

98% of the world's liquid freshwater is groundwater which supports ecosystems, drinking water supplies, sanitation systems, food production & industries. ⚠️ However, in most places, human activities over-use & pollute groundwater. #WorldWaterDay: unep.org/news-and-stories/st…
