Chez Panisse Foundation

The Chez Panisse Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Alice Waters, the owner of the famous restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. Its mission is to promote organic food, sustainable agriculture, and quality education about food and cooking. The foundation supports programs that teach children about healthy eating and growing food, like the Edible Schoolyard project, which creates school gardens to inspire students. Through these initiatives, the foundation aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of food and its connection to health, culture, and the environment.
