COOKING IS AN ACT OF LOVE
for People and the Planet
From the Osteria Francescana
Family
Inspirations from around
the world
From our Refettorios and
Social Tables
Today, 1.3 billion tons, about 1/3 of food produced, gets lost or wasted, while globally over 800 million people are hungry, don’t have access to fresh food, a home to cook or a table to enjoy a meal. At the same time, social isolation is an increasing public health threat. Not having access to healthy food creates inequalities and social vulnerability, it’s so much more than just about the waste of resources. To make a cultural revolution we should learn to see and appreciate the value of food.
Only by doing that, we will stop wasting it.
At Food for Soul, we believe that Cooking is an Act of Love, for People and Planet. This Call to Act brings us all together, because our greatest potential lies in joining forces.
Follow the steps above and use this website as your very own cookbook. Check out our recipes, let the stories behind them inspire you, cook with what you have at home, and share them with us!
