Each week we highlight restaurants demonstrating truth and love with amazing, inspiring and selfless acts that make the world just that little bit better.

1. Ceremony (UK, pictured): London restaurant Ceremony uses produce from its 400 square-foot on-site vegetable garden, which was made from leftover materials used to construct the building. They also have raised garden beds, a greenhouse containing micro-herbs and lettuces, a wormery, and a compost heap.

2. Oakridge (Australia): Oakridge runs educational classes for local children which involve gardening and cooking with foraged ingredients.

3. SHED (USA): Staff at SHED receive an orientation at the restaurant’s own farm, where they learn about the restaurant’s philosophy and farming practices, including beekeeping, composting, hedgerows and soil health. They are then given the opportunity to work on the farm if they wish.

4. .Org (Brazil): .Org’s balcony garden was created in partnership with Organicade, a collective focused on urban agriculture and permaculture practice, with several native species. The garden provides ingredients that are regularly used on the restaurant’s menu.

5. The Culpeper (UK): At The Culpeper’s medicinal herbs workshop, participants are educated about the medicinal properties of herbs and weeds growing in the restaurant’s rooftop garden, as well as how to use these plants to make bath salts, healing balms and tinctures.

6. MozzaPi (USA): MozzaPi uses its own backyard to host Louisville, Kentucky’s only organic farmers’ market.
