What we do
Introducing the Women’s Chef Exchange — a bold global initiative empowering women chefs as leaders in sustainability and equity. By recognizing their pivotal role in transforming food systems, their initiatives aim to inspire and cultivate a new generation of women leaders worldwide.
The Women’s Chef Exchange positions chefs as catalysts for strengthening food systems by supporting farmers and producers who prioritize sustainability and food safety. Then by uniting women chefs from diverse cultures, the initiative encourages the sharing of knowledge about local ingredients, traditional cuisines, culinary heritage, and innovative practices in sustainability and food safety.
Through education, mentorship, and collaboration between established and emerging chefs, the Women’s Chef Exchange empowers women to lead the way toward a more sustainable, equitable, and healthy future worldwide.
The Exchange
The Exchange is the flagship initiative at the heart of the Women’s Chef Exchange.
It’s a dynamic, two-way learning experience in which four emerging chefs and farmers from two partner countries — the United States and Italy — participate in a reciprocal program for a two-week hands-on immersion to learn about classical cuisines, heritage ingredients, local sustainability channels, and successful projects encompassing food safety and regenerative farming.
And its an opportunity to connect with young students to educate a new generation to bring a healthy agrifood system into the future.
Advancing Sustainability. Empowering Chefs. Transforming Communities.
