Today’s way of food production and consumption causes depletion of natural resources, environmental
pollution, climate change, loss of biodiversity and injustice. For this reason, sustainable food systems that
need to be created aim to make food production fairer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly
considering the principle of environmental, social, and economic sustainability at all stages from food
production to consumption. An important approach that contributes to these systems is social gastronomy,
and chefs working in this field play an important role. It can be easily said that social gastronomy chefs play
a critical role in promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship through their culinary practices
and advocacy work. By incorporating sustainable practices into their work, they can help to create a more
equitable and environmentally friendly food system for all. Therefore, to understand sustainable food
production systems, it is necessary to define social gastronomy and the chefs, who are also defined as
social entrepreneurs working in this field.
