Founder

 
I make work that puts this knowledge in the center of the room. Each form asks the same question. Each form makes it harder to look away.
— Selassie Atadika

The Institute is founded by Selassie Atadika: chef, artist, and food systems strategist; TIME Earth Award recipient; Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Fellow; and author of Gather and Feast (St. Martin's Press, Spring 2027), the book that makes the Institute's argument.
