This book explores food in India and its evolution from
pre-historic times to contemporary food trends while highlighting
the intersections between culture, rituals, environment and the
economy with food, ingredients and eating practices. It looks at
the history of food and food preferences in India by studying
historical, medicinal and religious texts. The book analyses
preferences and taboos from a social, anthropological, cultural,
political and economic perspective, mapping how food practices
influence and are influenced by religion, production and
distribution, ecology and social class. It also examines
consumption practices, problems with food production, agricultural
distress, food and farming reforms, globalization of food, the
adoption of sustainable practices and the future of farming, diets
and eating. Engaging and comprehensive, this book will be an
essential read for scholars and researchers of anthropology, social
and cultural anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, political
studies, development studies and food studies.
