The Chipotle Cultivate Foundation says it will support organisations for family farms, food education programmes for younger generations and farmers who are developing more sustainable practices.
Over the last two years, the company has donated more than $2m to philanthropic organisations, with much of that benefiting groups that are working to improve some element of the food system, including Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, The Nature Conservancy, FamilyFarmed.org, The Lunch Box and the Niman Ranch Scholarship Fund.
Steve Ells, founder and chairman, Chipotle, said: “By creating the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, we are extending our reach beyond our restaurants and will be supporting organisations and people that are working to improve individual family farms, animals and the environment, and youth and education programmes.”
