Food: what unites us, The UNESCO Courier, April-June 2025

Eating is not just a physiological act, it's also a journey through cultures, traditions and history. Behind every dish, every ingredient, lie centuries of exchange, adaptation and cultural blending. How have our eating habits been transformed by globalization and the expansion of the food industry? What are the consequences for our health, our environment and our way of living together?

In this issue, The UNESCO Courier explores the many dimensions of food. Because eating is also about sharing, transmitting and dialoguing.

• The UNESCO Courier, the flagship UNESCO magazine since 1948 is a platform for the dialogue between cultures and a forum for international debate.
• Bringing together well-known personalities, experts and artists, as well as journalists from different cultural and geographical horizons, it reflects the intellectual role of UNESCO, and its work around the world in all its domains of competence.
