KeywordSub-Saharan Africa, Food culture, Urban and rural diets, National cuisine, Food dynamics and sustain

In Sub-Saharan Africa, where the urban population is rapidly growing with high economic and population growth, dynamic changes occur in food situations. Previous studies on African food culture mainly concentrated on rural situations. On the contrary, this project aims to approach the true nature of various African food cultures in transition by focusing on new developments in food culture proceeding mainly in urban areas and positively forwarding the comparison of food cultures in urban and rural societies. The interaction between both the cultures is also analyzed.
