The Climate Kitchen is a place to figure out what to do next, with emphasis on anticipating the future. And to do so while keeping in mind there must be more opportunities for mitigating climate change and promoting individual and planetary health.
A kitchen is more than a room for storing and making food, it is also a place of transformation and site of collaboration. The Climate Kitchen reimagines the function and purpose of a kitchen to help serve future generations of cooks, of all types.
