Founded by Worldchefs, powered by The Electrolux Food Foundation and Aiesec, FEED THE PLANET is extending the successful zero-waste culinary training program for unemployed people to a second location in Brazil. Plans are also in place to launch the program in Argentina, Russia and Egypt in the near future.

ย 

With a focus on reducing food waste, the Electrolux Food Foundation launched a culinary training program as a pilot in Curitiba, Brazil, in September 2017.ย 

ย 

Since then, 34 people โ€“ mostly women โ€“ have been trained. Out of the first batch of 18 students, eight have already found new jobs.ย 

ย 

โ€œThe team in Curitiba – together with our partners Worldchefs and AIESEC – took this sketch of an idea, developed and implemented it in a way that exceeded everyoneโ€™s expectations. This has inspired us to replicate the program in other locations,โ€ says Malin Ekefalk, Director of Social Responsibility at Electrolux.ย
