The project adopts an applied and participatory research methodology by preparing popular Naga dishes using projected climate-adapted ingredients. Instead of relying entirely on customary ingredients, participants experiment with substitute food items that may become more commonly available under future climate scenarios. These culinary interventions encourage reflection on resilience, adaptation, food sovereignty, and the long-term sustainability of traditional cuisines.
