Carlo Cracco with IFAD to discover microcultures threatened by climate change to support rural communities in the most remote places in the world

The kitchen has given him notoriety, and Carlo Cracco has decided to put it to good use to help others and the environment: there are several projects in which the starred chef is committed to building a more equitable, sustainable, supportive future, without poverty and without waste. Among the most important, for five years, there is Recipes for Change with IFAD, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, which aims to support rural communities around the world, helping smallholder farmers to adapt to the impact that climate change has on their lives.

The places that the chef visited with IFAD, he says, «are far from inhabited centers, often in the middle of the mountains or in the desert. It is not easy to get there and it is not easy to live there . Morocco, Cambodia and Bhutan these are the destinations discovered so far: Cracco, like the other chefs involved in IFAD, has created recipes with local products, to give visibility and support to the inhabitants. "I hope I have connected the public with the daily reality of these small producers, and with their difficulties".

Another Cracco initiative is instead in favor of 6 SOS Villages in Italy: a starred delivery service dedicated to companies, which can give employees, customers or suppliers an exceptional lunch; the funds raised offer individualized school support to children in need. Finally, for a sustainable cuisine, he responded to the initiative of Too Good To Go, an anti-waste app which, on the occasion of the first International Day of Awareness on Food Waste and Losses established by FAO (29 September), involved several chefs with a "Chef Box", complete with an anti-waste recipe, to be collected at their restaurants.
