It delves into how cultural, religious, and environmental factors influence nutritional choices and practices in Bhutanese households, particularly for mothers and children. The session highlights the role of traditional beliefs, community practices, and local food systems in shaping dietary habits, while also considering the impact of modern nutrition science and policy.

By understanding the intersection of these factors, the discussion aims to provide a comprehensive view of how Bhutanese families approach nutrition and the challenges and opportunities in aligning traditional practices with contemporary nutritional guidelines.
