The Ministry of Food Foundation Collective

Empowering American people to cook delicious, nutritious food

Join us on our mission to make food a positive force for change! To find out more, email [email protected].

At Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food Foundation USA Collective, we believe that by teaching people where food comes from, how to cook and enjoy it, and why it matters, we can empower now and next generations to make better food choices for themselves and the world.

Food can be an incredibly powerful tool in transforming American lives and communities; by making good food accessible and a fundamental part of US education, we enable people to be healthier, connect with one another, and create a more sustainable future.

“I profoundly believe that food has the power to help people live happier, healthier lives – for now and the future.”

– Jamie Oliver
