We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Green Award will be offered to individuals/ culinary programs that emphasize sustainability or other “green” aspects in their programs.

This award is sponsored by the United Soybean Board, which is proud to reach out to educators and recognize their efforts to instruct their students on the importance of agriculture when selecting products and designing menus.

Past winners have implemented aquaculture farms, gardens, farm-to-table menus, waste reduction and more!

What are your efforts in this area? 

There will be a cash award given in addition to a complimentary registration to the 2024 CAFÉ Leadership Conference in June 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.

United Soybean Board has been a great partner with CAFÉ over the years and we would like to thank them for again sponsoring the Green Award for 2024!
