Sustaining the Roots: Celebrating India’s Food Heritage
November 14, 2024
| Environment
Indian food is deeply rooted in tradition, sustainability, and a harmonious relationship with nature. For centuries, traditional practices have emphasized using local, seasonal ingredients that suit the regional climate, contributing to both ecological balance and health. From the climate-friendly cultivation of millets to ancient storage techniques and powerful superfoods like amla and sattu, traditional Indian food wisdom shows us how to nourish ourselves and the planet. This approach to food promotes well-being while honoring the environment and cultural heritage.

| Transport
| Air
The development of a detailed CAZ (clean air zone) plan would focus on measures related to traffic and transportation (such as pedestrianization, cycle tracks, and EV mobility), urban planning (land use plans, heritage conservation), emission control, air quality monitoring and dust control. Through this plan, the program seeks to prioritize solutions based on emission reduction to enhance air quality in the study area. This approach aligns with sectoral sustainability goals by addressing environmental, social, and economic aspects of urban air quality improvement.
