Food Solidarity Fund Opportunity for Chefs

COVID-19 has caused the hospitality industry to lose out on a significant portion of trade, meaning tough times for Chefs and restaurants around the world. In this context, the Social Gastronomy Food Solidarity Fund has been developed to support organisations in developing solutions for relief and recovery, using food as a tool for positive change. 

Social gastronomy works to address social inequality, to improve nutrition, and to engage people to leverage their skills for social good. It encompasses all levels of the food production chain—from sowing and harvesting crops, to preparing meals, to utilizing food waste—to create social change, transforming the lives of underprivileged populations and victims of social exclusion or marginalization.

Chefs, if you're interested in applying for funding – our friends at Social Gastronomy have offered this opportunity to our Chefs' Manifesto network!
