World Heritage Site: Quebrada de Humahuaca

Summary
A critical analysis reveals that the institutional discourse on food heritage, particularly in UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Argentina's Quebrada de Humahuaca, often overlooks the complex interplay of local ecosystems, territorial histories, and economic developments. This study highlights how the 'patrimonialization' process in such sites can be invisibilized, failing to fully capture the multidimensional nature of food systems—spanning social, cultural, and economic dimensions. The research employs a qualitative approach, grounded in anthropological perspectives on food, to expose these gaps and advocate for more inclusive frameworks that recognize the nuanced realities shaping food heritage.
