DISHING UP A BETTER WORLD

I was in Singapore recently for the World Chefs Congress and Expo, which gathered 5,000 chefs from over a hundred countries, members of the hospitality service sector and companies that cater to their needs. Worldchefs must be to food what the Venice Biennale is to art, or the Frankfurt Book Fair is to books. How appropriate to organize this in a city people visit just to eat!

In the face of a planet with an increasingly unstable climate and economic challenges, it is heartening to see people from across varied industries, disciplines and the creative sector make an effort to stem this tide of disaster. Fashion is recycling, upcycling and using more sustainable methods to clothe the world. Cars are going hybrid or electric. Increasingly, energy is being sourced from the sun, the wind and water.
