Sustainable Gastronomy Day (SGD), celebrated annually on June 18th, was introduced by FAO and UNESCO in 2017. It aims to promote food security, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and biodiversity conservation. The day encourages collaboration among Member States, UN organizations, international and regional bodies, and civil society to raise awareness and promote sustainable culinary practices.

To commemorate this day, the World Food Forum (WFF) is launching the new initiative called Sustainable Gastronomy Restaurant Week, a campaign lasting from the 17 – 24 June 2024. It aims to increase awareness on SGD and the importance of youth in sustainable gastronomy by collaborating with young chefs who create co-branded menus or menu items dedicated to this year’s theme, "More Taste, Less Waste". The first-year pilot project focuses on working with a group of young, innovative chefs across several countries who function as champions of sustainable gastronomy across the globe.
