Abstract

Globalization has fulfilled its promise of satisfying and sophisticating food palettes around the world. One of the effects of this complex process of integration into a global food system is seen in the systemic disappearance and simultaneous exoticization of local food produces in India. This not only affects the nutritional intake, consumer patterns and indigenous culture in the country but also upholds colonial-industrial trends that have contributed to a capitalist world economy but are detrimental to Indian agricultural practices and its communities. The effects of the pandemic on food unearthed multiple such unsustainable practices. From the disappearing Vasaiwale Kawaadis (produce sellers) in Maharastra to native food scarcity in South Indian states, this paper addresses how Covid-19 has allowed for a renewal of discourse around these practices and why we should be talking about it in the first place.
