Discover rich conversations with research participants about shopping, cooking, budgeting and eating food in families. Much of the research is with British Bangladeshi women although other women and men also contributed including local market stall holders. Conversations focus on uses of cooking oils and fats, perceptions of organic vegetables, and possibilities for breeding organic Bangladeshi vegetable seeds.

Food Lives is a research programme which is part of FoodSEqual lead by the University of Reading. Funded by UK Research and Innovation Fund and run in partnership with the Women’s Environmental Network, the project explores the role food plays in our lives and the importance of history, faith, culture and heritage in our food habits.
