About Jamie's Ministry of Food Foundation
Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food Foundation builds on Jamie’s long-standing mission to improve food education, with a clear focus on getting children excited about good food in schools. Rooted in his belief that teaching young people to cook should be a core part of education, the foundation supports practical programmes that help pupils build confidence, skills and healthier habits for life.
Ministry of Food Foundation brings Jamie’s food education work together with a wider push to make school food better, more accessible and more inspiring. By providing resources, lessons and partnerships in schools, the foundation helps turn Jamie’s advocacy into action – making good food part of everyday learning, not an afterthought.
