This Action Page takes this project one step further by compiling and showcasing recipes created by the participating chefs that are in line with one or more of the Manifesto’s 8 thematic areas into a single database. A corresponding Action Plan has been developed from the Manifesto, acting as a practical guide on how chefs can contribute to the SDGs in each of these 8 areas. The Chefs’ Manifesto - a thematic framework that identifies food issues that matter most to chefs - was created by chefs, and is summarized into 8 thematic areas. Over the last four years, a global network of chefs has grown, working together to deliver good food for all.
