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.

Well paced and presented. Excellent recipes.
This should be the template for all courses. Soft background music which didn't feel repetitive. Traditional meals and ingredients were excellent and well presented and explained well.
