Childhood Memories of Food Collected in Eco-tourism: A Case Study of the Hare Krishna Movement

Abstract

The paper investigates the potential impact of eco-tourism and food in particular on the future behaviour of children. By drawing on literature on sensory memories (e.g. Madeleine de Proust), the paper explores how taste as an olfactory experience, and involvement in sustainable dining in general, contribute toward pro-environmental behaviour through memory storage and retention.
