Massimo Bottura will also open the Sustainability educational area of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy with a live speech on his no-waste project, a webinar open to Academy young chef members. A further appointment will again see Bottura and his team giving precious operative indications to the young professionals in order to contribute to reducing waste in their own restaurants and hospitality endeavours. The Academy's young talents will become part of Food for Soul's Chef network, learning about food security and sustainable foodservice in the social sector through education programmes, internships and volunteer opportunities within Refettorio projects and chances to mentor new ambassadors. "We embrace opportunities that bring people together to share and learn", expressed Food for Soul, "and push to amplify those that have an immediate positive impact on planetary and human health while laying the foundation for future generations to live well. This exciting development with S.Pellegrino will help scale Food for Soul's social and environmental impact, educating young culinary professionals on sustainable cooking through culture and community." "A more sustainable future is not built by one but through the collective action of many", said founder Massimo Bottura. "With S.Pellegrino and Chefs around the world, we can inspire the Academy of young chefs to take action and lead us into a better future of zero waste."
