Food--its access, significance, production, regionalism, and change overtime--is a topic of study that has importance for understanding the complexities of a society and the socio-economic, political, and technological opportunities or challenges that the society faces. Colombia has ethnic and regional diversity as well as a history of immigration and conflict, which influence its rich culture and food traditions.
