The Food and Belonging cluster examines how migrants use food practices as strategies for adaptation, resilience, and sustainability, while also cultivating a sense of home in new environments. Through these practices, food becomes more than sustenance—it serves as a medium for connection, cultural continuity, and emotional well-being.
We explore how food fosters integration by encouraging dialogue around the intersections of local, national, and global culinary traditions. Our focus is on how these interactions shape belonging, identity, and social cohesion, enriching both personal relationships and public spaces.
