The 2022 Universal Plate campaign saw over 71 million meals shared through collective action over a span of six weeks, throughout Hunger Action Month (September), until World Food Day (October 16). Over 20 million kgs of food were recovered from being lost or wasted in the process of cooking and sharing these meals.

The challenge overtook 1200 cities in 27 countries, with participation from regional food bank networks, Social Gastronomy Organizations, Private Sector partners, universities, local governments, restaurants, faith-based organizations and student groups.

The Social Gastronomy Movement and the World Food Forum were able to tangibly demonstrate that it is high time to ensure the #RightToFood and #HealthyDietsHealthyPlanet for all.
