The second wave of COVID-19 pandemic has even attacked villages in the far corner of the State. The virus has not even spared the villages, which are within the project area of NESFAS. The situation has compelled NESFAS to go beyond the mandate of the project and work with the 130 villages in Meghalaya and Nagaland and embark on the work of suppressing the spread of the virus.
Ever since its inception in 2012, NESFAS has played a major role in the preservation of indigenous food cultures and traditions in the North East of India, especially in Meghalaya. Over these years, NESFAS has worked relentlessly to fulfill its mission of highlighting the connection between sourcing tasty, healthy, local foods and the responsibility one has towards the protection and preservation of the agrobiodiversity that produces these foods.
