A Decade in the Making

2022 marked the 10th anniversary of Feed the Planet. That’s ten years of inspiring action from our community around the globe, and a lot to celebrate.

There is a lot of efforts from Worldchefs and you have the efforts from the restaurants to get people involved. They are caring about the education of their staff.

“In an effort to provide the foundational training and culinary skills needed in operating successful food businesses, we saw an opportunity for the Like a Chef project to partner with us on providing their Pre-Commis Chef Training Course whilst also planting the seed of incorporating sustainability throughout culinary operations through the Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals course. There has also been a great disconnect between the agricultural sector and the culinary industry in light of the issues being faced. Through the Like a Chef training program, we have been able to bridge the gap between these two sectors, helping participants garner a greater appreciation and understanding of how both sectors need to work together sustainably to promote more sustainable food systems within our communities and on a national level.

“Our goal with the Like a Chef program was to develop women’s culinary skills by bringing in global expertise to help them secure promising job opportunities and sustainable income. It was equally important for us to be part of this initiative because we are doing something special for these women who have faced health challenges. We are giving them back a sense of empowerment and belief in what they can accomplish. Because we believe in the principle of equal opportunities and the need to support women in all possible ways.

“There’s a great quote from M.F.K. Fisher that says “First we eat and then we do everything else.” I began to see the role of a chef and our responsibilities, not only to help those who enter our front doors to thrive but also to sustain the people that show up at our back doors— without farmers, without fishermen, there is no food for us, there is no chef.
