What happens when the incredibly talented Chef Manisha Bhasin @ChefManisha visits, and you spend hours talking about sustainable food while bonding over home-cooked meals garnished with fresh herbs from the kitchen garden? Pure magic. Grateful to enjoy dishes prepared by the one and only chef herself — and I even got to make pongsen, a traditional Ao Naga delicacy. Food, stories, and culture shared around one table. A beautiful start to the month of May, welcoming the summer season and celebrating Ao Naga Moatsü Mong. 🌿🍲☀️ @ChefManisha @MhaYanthan @TribalAffairsIn @MDoNER_India @MmhonlumoKikon @FAOIndia @AsiaOfficeAMAA @ambajamir #SustainableFood #HomeCookedMeals #KitchenGarden #FreshHerbs #FoodStories #CulturalCuisine #AoNaga #Pongsen #TraditionalFood #NagaCulture #MoatsuMong #SummerVibes #MayMoments #FarmToTable #FoodAndCulture #SlowLiving #SeasonalEating

Native Foodscape Director, @ChubamenlaJamir voices for Indigenous communities at the Asia Strategic Climate Workshop i. Vietnam.

I had the privilege of engaging with an inspiring group of climate scientists through the My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group under the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) on 10 Nov 2025. It was a meaningful opportunity to share my research and learning journey on a topic deeply connected to both my heart and my roots: “Listening to the Mountains: Insights from Indigenous Mountain Food Systems for a Resilient Future.” The presentation was followed by rich and insightful discussions that deepened our collective understanding. Grateful to the Walker Institute (now Pearl) for making this experience possible. pearl.reading.ac.uk/event/my… #MyClimateRiskHub #WCRP
