Food has always carried the power to nourish, teach, and connect but only when it is treated with care and intention.

In this episode of the Zero Hunger Project, Andy Cuthbert, President of WORLDCHEFS (World Association of Chefs Societies), reflects on a lifetime in the kitchen and a global career dedicated to mentorship, sustainability, and responsible food practices. From eliminating waste to educating children about farming, nutrition, and local food systems, he explains how chefs can lead real change far beyond the plate.

Ending hunger is about using what already exists with wisdom, respect, and shared responsibility. Through global partnerships, youth mentorship, and practical action, Andy shows how the culinary world can become a powerful force for food justice.

Hear how chefs, communities, and everyday choices can help build a food system that honors people, culture, and the planet. Watch the full episode of From Kitchen to Community: Chef's Global Fight Against Food Waste.
