Recently developed an educational video series “Food Cultures – Western Avadh” for IIT Delhi, IIIT Bangalore & Sangtin

Kodo millet is a resilient and nutritious grain that has been grown by farmers in western Avadh for generations. In this video, farmers from the region share how they cultivated and consumed this grain, and describe its benefits.

Grains of Resilience Kodo

Milk and Cattle

Across rural India, we hear tales of how milk and dairy products used to be consumed in huge quantities, before milk became an easily marketable commodity. In this video, villagers in western Avadh describe dairy consumption and the cattle economy of the past, and the various factors that led to these systems being transformed

Fish

Fish were plentiful in the lakes, rivers and wetlands of western Avadh. Villagers in the video describe the importance of fish in their diets and livelihoods in the past, and the changes that have reduced their consumption of this nutritious food

Wetlands

Western Avadh was replete with wetlands, as a result of low-lying land that would be flooded seasonally or perennially. In this video, a landless farmer couple share their memories of the wetland near their home, its gradual disappearance and the various foods it provided.

Many types of fruits were cultivated or grew wild in western Avadh. Fruit shrubs and trees could be found in forests, by the river or alongside roads. Villagers in this video describe how they collected and consumed these fruits. For more perspectives, visit www.foodcultures.org/avadh
