Bridging cultural differences and political rifts, food is a common thread for many in the Arabic speaking world. It is an essential part of a nation’s identity and sophisticated recipes are almost an issue of national pride: although most mouth-watering dishes are often the result of a long history of international migration of ingredients.

DOSSIER: INSIDE THE GREEN ECONOMY

Green Economy is a source of both hope and controversy.
