Because Every Meal Matters

Ministry of Food

Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food is on a mission to inspire and empower more people to enjoy the benefits of cooking and eating nutritious, sustainable and balanced meals.

OUR MISSION

At the Ministry of Food, we have a big ambition to reach even more people with the transformative power of cooking. By 2030 we want to reach 1 MILLION PEOPLE through our campaigns – that’s 3 MILLION MEALS REVOLUTIONISED.

Here's how we're making it happen...

Schools

Teaching children about good food is essential in schools and deserves to be an integral part of the government’s health and education policies. Jamie's 10 Skills programme has been key to making this change.
