活动介绍  Introduction

中国是一个具有56个民族的多民族国家。由于特殊的地理，自然和文化背景，很多少数民族在与自然的长时间和谐共处中都有自己的传统食品和医学并且不被外界所熟知。然而，由于现代化和城市化进程的加快，我们在取得一个个举世瞩目的发展成就的同时，很多少数民族的传统饮食和医学正在消失，尤其是年青一代，很多已经不懂得如何按照传统的方式，从自然中获取食物和药材，甚至已经不会说自己的民族语言。这些都是人类饮食多样性，生态多样性和文化多样性的重大损失。据研究显示，提升饮食多样性可以显著改善营养状况。因此，十分有必要将少数民族的传统饮食和医药记录下来。这些珍贵的知识很有可能会在未来的某一天发挥重大的价值和作用。比如说，牛油果和藜麦，目前两种很流行并被认为很健康的食物，都源自秘鲁的原住民部落。此外，如果能够记录和发掘出更多的传统食物，也很可能会帮助人类应对自然灾害和食物危机，增加人们的环保意识。

China is a multi-ethnic country with 56 nationalities. Due to the special geographical, natural, and cultural background, many ethnic minorities have their own traditional food and medicine in the long-term harmonious coexistence with nature; and are not well-known by the outside world. However, due to the acceleration of modernization and urbanization, while China has made remarkable development, the traditional diet and medicine of many ethnic minorities are disappearing, especially among the young generation. Many of them do not know how to obtain food and medicinal materials from nature in the traditional way and even can’t speak their own national languages. These are the major losses of human dietary diversity, ecological diversity, and cultural diversity. According to research, improving dietary diversity can significantly improve nutritional status. Therefore, it is very necessary to document the traditional diet and medicine of ethnic minorities. This precious knowledge is likely to play a significant value and role one day in the future. For example, avocado and quinoa, two popular and considered healthy foods, originated from indigenous tribes in Peru. In addition, if more traditional foods can be recorded and discovered, it is likely to help mankind cope with natural disasters and food crises and increase people’s awareness of environmental protection.
