"Although I have been working on environmental issues for 40 years, it was not until I participated in the Future Food Boot Camp that I was able to clearly see how to apply my knowledge to practical activities to make my community understand that food is a problem as well as a solution to the climate crisis."
Amanda NiodeManager, Climate Reality Project, Indonesia
"The most amazing part of this learning journey was Prosperity Thinking. I had always felt like I was doing my best with sustainability and food, whether zero waste or biodiversity, but now I feel so greatly enabled to take even more action in my community, local and global, whilst building resilience."
Radhika KhandelalExecutive Chef, Radish Hospitality, India
"Participating in the Boot Camp increased my knowledge on many aspects and about topics I had not previously encountered. I can say that I learned how to apply, in real life, what we covered during the sessions. I'm also grateful to have developed new friendships with the other participants."​
Sarah BadranFood Science & Management Student, Lebanon
"I discovered that I have something to share with my community that is important starting from my experiences as a child with grandmother when she taught us how to farm. It looked old fashioned but it was the right way and now I have to share with other farmers in my community so that we can produce our food sustainably."
