A tool for exploring sustainable seafood.
If there’s one thing we educators all share, it’s a shortage of time. That’s why turn-key teaching tools, especially those that aren’t developed to promote a product, are manna from heaven. When it comes to sustainability, seafood is a particularly thorny issue because there really are no black-and-white answers. As Bon Appétit Management Company’s Helene Kennan, executive chef at Google, has said, “Sustainable seafood is the culinary challenge of the 21st century.”
“Green Chefs, Blue Ocean” has arrived on the scene to help. Developed jointly by Chefs Collaborative, one of the most forward-thinking chefs’ organizations in the country, and the Blue Ocean Institute, this program can help you and your students explore the world of sustainable seafood.
