In February 2023, two earthquakes devastated parts of Turkey. The disaster claimed the lives of nearly 60,000 people in southern Turkey and northern Syria. In this programme Victoria Craig travels to the city of Antakya, part of Hatay Province, close to the border with Syria. It’s a region long famed for its cuisine, and even has special UNESCO recognition for its gastronomy. Since the earthquake a year ago much of the local population has left the badly damaged area, and food businesses in the historic bazaar are waiting for rebuilding work to begin. Victoria hears from the people of Antakya why food is such an important part of their culture and community. Produced and presented by Victoria Craig.

Food is essential to life.
Humans need it to survive, but we also use it to thrive.
For people like this man, food is not just part of life, its the reason for being.
But what happens when the food we've relied on, even celebrated, cultivated and loved for centuries, is at risk of disappearing.
Welcome to the food chain on the BBC World Service with me, Victoria Craig.
This week I'm taking you to Antakya, Turkey.
It's a city that was devastated by twin earthquakes that rocked the region exactly one year ago.
Financial resources have become incredibly limited.
