Support local producers, be mindful of where your food comes from
You will find the tools to help you cook more sustainably and to shrink your carbon footprint.
Nature’s bounty is so rich—over 30,000 edible plants are available on Earth. However, we rely on about 30 of them—and 3 crops alone provide humanity with nearly 60% of our calories: rice, wheat, and corn. We’ve been missing out and it’s time to incorporate more plants in our lives.
At the end of this course you will be able to:
– Make pulses, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, fungi, and algae the star of your dishes.
– Diversify your culinary palette with over 30,000+ varieties of edible plants available
– Avoid food waste by consuming plants from root to leaf.
– To celebrate local and seasonal foods, learn to adjust and swap out ingredients.
– Highlight nutritional quality of local and seasonal.

Before you go
Join our community to help deliver a better food future for all.
The SDG2 Advocacy Hub facilitates the Chefs' Manifesto, a community of 1100+ chefs from 90 countries, equipped with a simple set of actions to drive progress against the food issues that matter most of them.
We believe chefs can be powerful advocates for a better food future - inspiring people to make changes in their kitchens and communities and empowering them to call on governments and companies to also play their part.
As chefs bridge the gap between farm and fork, the Chefs' Manifesto empowers chefs with a framework tied to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We’ll discuss various plant-based food groups to help you diversify your culinary palette
What you'll learn
Discover the nutritional richness that comes with “eating the rainbow.” The types of food we consume and when and where they’re grown ultimately determine the sustainability of our diets!
You will learn about the importance of minimizing food waste in our kitchens as well as the ways to utilize the ingredients that traditionally end up in the trash.
Whether you are an omnivore, flexitarian, vegetarian, or plant-based, you will absolutely love the dishes showcased on this course.
Instead of focusing on the foods we must give up to help be part of the solution, why not place the emphasis on the plethora of delicious, colorful, and diverse ingredients we get to incorporate into our dishes.

Not a vegetarian but love clean eating occasionally.
I love some of the ingredients used in some of the dishes and I am willing to try some of the other ingredients that I didn't know existed, so I will start to use these dishes in my occasional menu at home and at work with my growing customers which like to try different things.
