We are what we eat. We can stop climate crisis and heal the health of our planet and ourselves, simply by shifting the way we eat. It only takes a taste.

Alice Waters and her Delicious Revolution<\/h2>

In 1971, Alice Waters opened the US’ first farm-to-table restaurant, Chez Panisse, in Berkeley, California. The restaurant welcomed people with dishes based on local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. The customers discover that how you eat can change the world. It became a legend of American food culture and molded California\u2019s modern culinary sense of self.<\/p>\n

Alice cares deeply about how we grow food, what our children eat at school and, most importantly, teaching them how food is made. In 1995, she founded the Edible Schoolyard Project at a public middle school in Berkeley, which has students growing fresh produce at school as part of the curriculum. For over half a century, Alice has continued to inspire chefs and educators around the world, and is referred to as the \u201cmother of organic\u201d or \u201cthe delicious revolutionary\u201d.<\/h3>[\/vc_column][vc_column text_color=”light” width=”1\/2″]

An encounter with Japanese schools, producers and chefs<\/h2>

In 2023, Alice visited Japan to commemorate the first anniversary of her book \u201cWe Are What We Eat – A Slow Food Manifesto\u201d, published by Ama no Kaze. The journey took her across various regions of Japan, where she had school lunches and interacted with local producers and chefs dedicated to regenerating the local biodiversity through protecting their land. Through Alice\u2019s passionate words and intent gaze, the audience will witness beautiful Slow Food initiatives in Japan.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the journey is to encounter \u201cDelicious Solutions\u201d in Japan.
\nDo we have the power to choose what we eat, and what is the potential for individual and global transformation\u0336 simply by shifting our relationship to food? <\/h3>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=”#efefef” top_padding=”40″ bottom_padding=”20″][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

How to start Delicious Revolution – An advice from Alice Waters<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never done a single thing by myself. Whether it\u2019s Chez Panisse or Edible Schoolyard, I always start by asking my friends for help. I could never have created a community supported economy through what produce we use at the restaurant, or my dream of an Edible Schoolyard alone. If you reconnect and work together, you can do it. Don\u2019t hesitate to ask. Never say \u201cI\u2019m going to do it by myself,\u201d but invite people to your table and have food together, and ask how they can participate. I think that is a very important first step.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
