"Imagine a roadmap that gives purpose to the things that would otherwise be discarded", says Chef @chrislockefood 🗺️ 🍽️ ♻️

By highlighting the expected waste streams from each dish, he explains, a map can be made before the waste is created - to see them as ...ingredients with a given purpose rather than a problem that needs to be constantly dealt with.

Key:

🟢 Green: Dish
🔴 Red: “Waste” Item/New Ingredient
🟠Orange: Dish Element

The #ChefsManifesto is at CGIAR #ScienceWeek 2025 in #Nairobi! 🇰🇪 🌱🔬 Bridging the gap between science and food, the Chefs’ Manifesto facilitated a lunch with @onecgiar, that offered delegates the opportunity to hear, see and taste firsthand, delicious, diverse, climate-resilient local... #Kenyan foods that are good for both people and the planet, thanks to Chef @kiranjethwa and his team The Good Food Company.🍽️🙌

Through this, delegates were reminded of the overarching theme of the week, ‘innovation and partnerships for a food, nutrition, and climate secure-future’ from their first bite. 🌍

“The Chefs’ Manifesto-led lunch reminded us of the need to produce more with less, nurturing both people and the planet, which is central to the Science Week discussions.” Ismahane Elouafi @onecgiar
