Our Story
The Social Gastronomy Movement was born from a shared belief: food can be a tool for social change.
What began as a gathering of 50 food system changemakers has grown into a global community across 70+ countries—chefs, nonprofits, activists, and entrepreneurs working toward a more just and inclusive food future.
