Additional information about your food authenticity interests
With my background in environmental anthropology and food systems, I have a deep interest in food authenticity, especially in preserving traditional culinary practices and ensuring the integrity of ingredients across local and global value chains. I’m committed to sustainable innovations that honor cultural heritage while addressing food security and nutrition. I’m particularly drawn to authentic, regionally rooted products—like dry beans—and their role in supporting resilient food systems that serve both vulnerable populations and broader markets.
