The World Food Forum and the Social Gastronomy Movement
join together
for
Hunger Action Month
with the Universal Plate, a global campaign
with the goal of sharing millions of meals
26/09/2022
The Universal Plate campaign ends on 16 October 2022, World Food Day, and the WFF and the SGM
call on chefs, local governments, non-profits, food banks, students, industry partners, global leaders, and media agencies to support ongoing campaign efforts. Anyone can take part, whether by coordinating a city-wide volunteer action or by cooking and sharing
meals alongside a neighbor in need.
A total of three million free meals are expected to be shared between September 1 and October 16. Meals served through the campaign should be: 1) made with locally-sourced ingredients; 2) nutritionally
balanced and 3) free of charge. The WFF and the SGM encourage participants to share their activities on social media with the hashtag
#UniversalPlate.

nonprofits, governments, media and the public.
