I was happily selected to participate in a small exhibition on food hertiage at the EBRD offices during their 2025 annual conference. Some of my images from a recent trip to Morocco where chosen. We visited a few Moroccoan farmers and food producers; the tomato agribusiness, Comaprim, and a citrus producer, PackOrange.
"For over a decade now, the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development (EBRD) coupled with the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have been jointly empowering farmers & food producers to safeguard traditional knowledge & market products steeped in heritage. These initiatives have honoured cultural heritage & championed sustainable practices. They bring together producers, entrepreneurs & policymakers to foster food quality as well as address sustainability issues & support origin-based schemes such as geographical indication (GI) status...
There are a dense network of bonds between agrifood products, people & places. Traditional food products can embody a rich tapestry of local cultures, identities, histories, traditions & values. The evocative photographs in this exhibition showcase traditional products from Jordan, Kazakhstan, Morocco and Serbia, reflecting storied histories, enduring cultures & generations of expertise."
