About Alice Waters Institute for Edible Education and Regenerative Agriculture

The Alice Waters Institute (AWI) is dedicated to advancing regenerative agriculture through the power of food procurement – specifically in our nation’s public schools – where the values of community, nourishment, equity, and stewardship can be conveyed to the next generation through food. AWI builds on Alice Waters’ more than 50 years of impact at Chez Panisse and over 25 years of developing curricula for the Edible Schoolyard Project and its worldwide network of more than 6,700-schools. AWI is already partnering with a diverse group of education institutions to demonstrate that shifting to a local, seasonal, regenerative organic menu is achievable at scale, developing guides that can be used by schools and universities across the world and later adapted by food professionals across myriad settings. Multiple pilots across California are already underway, including with a major metropolitan K-12 school district and multiple campuses in the UC system. The AWI initiative is being incubated at the Edible Schoolyard Project with plans to spin it out as a separate 501c3. A founding CEO, with deep experience in building successful nonprofits, has recently been hired to lead the organization.
