Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts.

Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

  • New Romanian Cuisine’: Elite Local Taste and Globalisation
    JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Copyright © The Author, 2020 Volume 11, Number 2, Winter 2020 ISSN 2068 – 0317 http://compaso.eu The production of the ‘New Romanian Cuisine’: Elite local taste and globalisation Adriana Sohodoleanu1 Abstract Under the attack of globalisation’s universalising force, food traditions become sites of cultural resistance (Poulain, 2017) in a recent worldwide phenomenon that saw the birth of a new type of restaurants gathered under the umbrella of a New Cuisine taxonomy. The interest in what such actors perceive as “roots” and “traditions”, their fear of alienation and their strong ethical and ecological awareness build an ethos that turns food production into a cultural phenomenon (Ferguson, 2004) and therefore into something good to think with (Levy-Strauss, 1963). The New Romanian restaurants position themselves as agents of change and nationalise the fine dining space according to their vision while setting up the local identity’s resistance to global forces and building a new meaning for Romanian restaurant food. I analysed the mechanisms that help instil or dilute ‘Romanian-ness’ and the motivations behind this process that claims to address a need expressed by the up-and- coming middle class. Keywords Identity, gastronomy, New Romanian Cuisine; Introduction This paper addresses a gap in the body of literature dedicated to the local food scene and it puts a new phenomenon such as the New Romanian Cuisine in a context. The paper’s value resides also in providing the local gastronomic community with a different perspective on a movement in progress. 1 Faculty of Sociology and Social Work, University of Bucharest, Romania, [email protected].

  • Language Practices of the Romani Community in Serbia: Inclusion Or Response to the Stigma?*1 J
    RUDN Journal of Sociology 2019 Vol. 19 No.2 212—221 Вестник РУДН. Серия: СОЦИОЛОГИЯ http://journals.rudn.ru/sociology DOI: 10.22363/2313-2272-2019-19-2-212-221 Language practices of the Romani community in Serbia: Inclusion or response to the stigma?*1 J. Petrović University of Niš Ćirila and Metodija, 2, Niš, Serbia, 18000 (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. The results of the research presented in the article are part of the findings of the study conducted in 2014 within the project Social and Cultural Potential of the Romani Ethnic Community in Serbia. The survey was based on the stratified sample of 1,212 respondents and conducted by a team of researchers representing four universities of Serbia. One of the aims of the research was to identify the prevailing language practices of the Romani community in Serbia. The paper presents the results of the study of the attitudes of the Romani to the use of language and their language practices focusing on such issues as the assessment of the importance of the Romani language in expressing their identity, the use of the Romani language in everyday communication in various social contexts, and the estimates of the significance of this symbolic capital in education as expressed in the parents ideas and attempts to ensure that their children are educated in their mother tongue. The results of the survey proved that the Romani community’s attitudes to language and language practice are an expression of the general social position of this group, i.e. a minority ethnic group in the Serbian society.

Vaughan Romani Cultural & Arts Co. Report Acknowledgements I would like to thank the participants of the panels, in particular those members who joined at late notice, Daniel Baker and Sarah Cemlyn. Their experiences, knowledge and insights added a great deal of vitality and energy to the discussions, complimenting the other experts who were panelists, admirably. Thanks are also due to the Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty, Lesley Griffiths AM, and the Chairperson of the Cross Party Group Gypsies and Travellers, Julie Morgan AM for Cardiff North, for their participation from the Welsh government and the National Assembly for Wales. Thanks are also due to the panelists who did such an excellent job of debating the issues and answering the concerns and questions from the audience, in what was a new and perhaps challenging format, that was quite different to the usual lecture or seminar for many of them; Thomas Acton, Colin Clark, Ethel Brooks, Tanija Vasic, Isaac Blake, and Petr Torak. To the organisers of the event at RCAC, especially Aleksandr G. Marinov, Jamie James, Teleri Gray, Christine Virginia Lee and Ashleigh Price, who made the day both possible and a pleasure, ensuring the event ran smoothly and efficiently throughout. I would also like to express my gratitude to the technical team from Genero Productions Ltd, who recorded the material that much of this report draws from, to Aleksandr for transcribing it and to the audience, particularly those that took the opportunity to raise issues from the community and from their experience, who asked questions of the panel and those who brought the wisdom and benefit of their knowledge to the wider public.

    1.04cm spine for 208pg on 90g eco paper ISSN 0258-6150 FAO 171 FORESTRY 171 PAPER FAO FORESTRY PAPER 171 Edible insects Edible insects Future prospects for food and feed security Future prospects for food and feed security Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain Edible insects: future prospects for food and feed security and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock.
