This document provides an overview of sustainability education for culinary professionals. It discusses the big issues facing sustainability like population growth, increased consumption, climate change, and scarcity of resources. These issues are putting pressure on the food system and food production. The document also outlines how culinary schools are responding by incorporating sustainability into their curriculum through things like sustainability clubs, school gardens, and teaching sustainable cooking skills. The goal is to educate future chefs on sustainability concepts and their role in addressing these global challenges through foodservice.
Presentation about how regenerative agriculture sinks carbon in soil and helps reverse global warming. Plant photosynthesis uses CO2 in the atmosphere and microbes sequester carbon in soil by eating plant exudates at roots which are sugars. Protecting microbes is critical to drawing down atmospheric CO2 and sinking it in soil. Conventional agriculture kills the microbes in the soil and adds CO2 to the atmosphere. Regenerative agriculture is carbon negative.
Valuing our food and water resources steven m. finn - june 2014Steven M. Finn
A presentation linking three intertwined topics - food security, water security, and food recovery - with a focus on the need to change behavior and give the proper value to our food and water resources in order to successfully feed 9 billion by 2050. Doing so requires minimizing food and water waste while viewing 9Bx2050 not only as a challenge, but as an opportunity to advance critical sustainability initiatives globally.

Solar cooking Benefits - Messages to StakeholdersPaul Arveson
Solar thermal cooking has benefits not only for the cook but in general for women, environmentalists, health workers, engineers, economic developers, and country leaders. Billions still cook over open fires, but on sunny days a solar cooker can replace fire and provide clean, safe cooking energy with no fuel cost -- the cheapest way to cook food. Solar cookers can thereby also eliminate much of the labor of foraging for wood, chopping and preparing fires, and thus it can liberate time for women to devote to child care, education and employment. This in turn can lead to multiple economic, health and environmental benefits, such as reduced deforestation, reduced injuries, reduced habitat loss, reduced pollution, and hence help to develop countries in an innovative way. This is one of a series of slide presentations developed by Paul Arveson, a director of Solar Household Energy, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC.
I sette principi per un’agricoltura sostenibile descritti nel rapporto di Greenpeace sono:
1. restituire il controllo sulla filiera alimentare a chi produce e chi consuma, strappandolo alle multinazionali dell’agrochimica;
2. sovranità alimentare. L'agricoltura sostenibile contribuisce allo sviluppo rurale e alla lotta contro la fame e la povertà, garantendo alle comunità rurali la disponibilità di alimenti sani, sicuri ed economicamente sostenibili;
3. produrre e consumare meglio: è possibile già oggi, senza impattare sull’ambiente e la salute, garantire sicurezza alimentare e, contemporaneamente, lottare contro gli sprechi alimentari. Occorre diminuire il nostro consumo di carne e minimizzare il consumo di suolo
per la produzione di agro-energia. Dobbiamo anche riuscire ad aumentare le rese dove è necessario, ma con pratiche sostenibili;
4. incoraggiare la (bio)diversità lungo tutta la filiera, dal seme al piatto con interventi a tutto campo, dalla produzione sementiera all’educazione al consumo;
5. proteggere e aumentare la fertilità del suolo, promuovendo le pratiche colturali idonee ed eliminando quelle che invece consumano o avvelenano il suolo stesso;
6. consentire agli agricoltori di tenere sotto controllo parassiti e piante infestanti, affermando e promuovendo quelle pratiche (già esistenti) che garantiscono protezione e rese senza l'impiego di costosi pesticidi chimici che possono danneggiare il suolo, l'acqua,
gli ecosistemi e la salute di agricoltori e consumatori;
7. rafforzare la nostra agricoltura, perché si adatti in maniera efficace il sistema di produzione del cibo in un contesto di cambiamenti climatici e di instabilità economica.

The United Nations predicts that 1 billion people will be starving by 2050. The carbon footprint of conventional agriculture is huge. We must innovate to use wasted resources to grow food locally, using wasted resources such as public buffer land and recycled water. Greenhouse growing uses a fraction of the water for many times the productivity. Public health requires a fresh supply of produce for everyone.
Food (agriculture) production and distribution is estimated to cause approximately 25% of global warming (UN), which is causing drought in many areas. Agriculture uses 80% of the ground and surface water, increasing the water shortage. AgLantis is creating an urban farm right in the middle of heavy industry and will use hydroponic greenhouse production which yields as much as 40 times the produce using 10% of the water. The farm is on unused public buffer land, uses recycled agricultural grade water and is an innovate, replicable solution that dramatically decreases the carbon and water footprint of food production and distribution. Using recycled water high in nitrogen and phosphorus also eliminates the need for fossil fuel based fertilizers. The UN estimates 40% of agriculture is lost from farm-to-mouth. Growing in urban centers dramatically decreases that loss, much of which is due to long distane transportation.

This presentation addresses the scope and significance of the problem of global food waste - noting that a serious disconnect exists which allows nearly one billion people to go hungry while the world wastes one to two billion tons of food annually. Our values regarding food are well out of balance, and a global food system which creates such vast amounts of waste is in many ways dysfunctional. Industrialized nations display a “culture of abundance” which leads to massive amounts of food waste while the social, economic, and environmental costs of that waste get little mainstream attention. The current state of waste, pollution, and hunger is unsustainable. This presentation notes the importance of valuing our food and optimizing resource usage to prepare the world to handle nine billion people by 2050. While the nine billion by 2050 problem is a daunting challenge, it should also be viewed as a critical opportunity to unite the world with shared purpose to eradicate hunger, minimize environmental impact, and enhance global security through a collaborative global network driven by expertise and urgency. To facilitate this transition, the overall opportunity can be viewed – and addressed – as a series of linked opportunities. This is a journey the world must embrace – we have little choice but to rapidly adopt sustainability principles across the globe which involve minimizing food waste and optimizing resource use if we are to successfully support nine billion people by 2050.
This material was part of a presentation to the IRAS Conference (Institute of Religion in an Age of Science) at Silver Bay, NY on July 31, 2013.

You hold the power in your actions, your decisions, and your impact on those around you.
You personally share the responsibility.
You have power to change the world.
Two critical concepts to sustainability

term decision making often does not lead to sustainable decisions.

Across the world, culinary schools are adopting sustainability as a core part of their curriculum.
Why teach it in the first place?
• Sustainability is a growing concern driven by the pressures of growing
demand and a lack of resources to support it
• Sustainability impacts all parts of foodservice operations and impacts
profitability
• Consumers are increasingly demanding it
• Foodservice uses much food, water, and energy and produces a lot of waste
Cooking sustainably is increasingly a
core kitchen skill

22. Culinary Schools Respond

• Sustainability clubs
• School gardens
• Local farmer partnerships
• Aquaculture on campus
• Composting and recycling
• Bee keeping
• Energy and water usage studies on campus
• Waste audits
• Studies in local cuisines
• Increased focus on teaching low or no animal protein cuisine
