Reflecting on Feed the Planet’s Accomplishments
This summer, Feed the Planet team members from across Worldchefs, Electrolux Food Foundation, AIESEC, and Griffith Foods came together for our yearly strategic meeting. It was a fruitful moment to reflect on our accomplishments and plan for missions for the months and years ahead.
Our yearly strategic meeting with all of the Feed the Planet partners is a unique moment to reflect on the lives we’ve changed and the impact that we’ve made on our planet. Creating a more sustainable food system isn’t easy—but it needs to be done. And I couldn’t be more thankful for the time to reflect and plan the journey ahead with the team at Worldchefs and our partners at the Electrolux Food Foundation, AIESEC, and Griffith Foods.
Chris Koetke, Worldchefs Feed the Planet Committee Chairman
The Feed the Planet program was founded by Worldchefs in 2012 and since we joined forces with the Electrolux Food Foundation and AIESEC in 2016, we have:
- Changed over 1,300 lives through our Like a Chef training program across Sweden, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, South Africa, Brazil, and South Africa.
- Educated over 12,000 chefs through our innovative Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals free course.
- Inspired over 160,000 children to make better food choices for themselves and the planet through our Food Heroes educational workshop.
- Reached over 191,000,0000 people across the globe to raise awareness around food sustainability
Like every time we meet with partners Worldchefs, AIESEC, and Griffith Foods, it is a great opportunity to brainstorm, plan and discuss on how to deliver on our mission to create a more sustainable food system. But most importantly, it is so recharging to share ideas that seem too dreamy at first, but then become undoubted successes. And this time was no different.

Get Involved with Feed the Planet
Why take action?
Every year, 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted while 795 million people are undernourished. Meanwhile, One of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the food sector. We must take action every day for a better future, and our plates are an important place to do it.
We have a lot of work to do, but don’t be discouraged. Be excited by the new discoveries, the forgotten joys, the inspiring power you wield as an individual, and the extraordinary potential of a community inspired.
