This report demonstrates how chefs can lead the work to influence policy makers at local, national and regional levels to deliver the Farm to Fork strategy, the biodiversity strategy and the Green New Deal and create a sustainable food policy across the EU. The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transformation to sustainable food systems and ensure that everyone has access to sufficient safe, nutritious and sustainable food. Chefs will be key to this change.

They can transform the food system whilst providing people from all walks of life with diverse, healthy and delicious food that is suitable for all income groups.

In this report, chefs can find a set of recommendations to guide them on their journey to put sustainability into action every day. The recommendations are the result of the research and analysis done within the initial phase of the LIFE Climate Smart Chefs project, which map the best practices to foster food sustainability through restaurant activities throughout EU. The report is aimed at chefs, restaurant owners, chef trainers, menu development chefs, and restaurant and catering companies who want to play an active role in moving the food sector in a more sustainable direction.
