After a decade of action in the fields of health, education, culture and sustainable development, the Compagnie Fruitière Endowment Fund is now primarily committed to promoting access to healthy, environmentally-friendly food, particularly in Africa and Marseille. Focusing on 3 main areas (human health and food safety – food education – agricultural entrepreneurship, resilience and biodiversity), the association supports a wide range of projects, such as making high-quality food available in terms of nutrition and health, promoting sustainable agricultural practices on family farms, and raising awareness of the influence of food choices on health and the environment.
It was with a view to promoting exchanges around different culinary traditions that the Fund, in collaboration with chef Sébastien Richard, launched an innovative residency program, encouraging cultural exchanges and the sharing of know-how. The first chef to stay in Marseille was Sandrine Nkou Ebogo. Known for her social commitment in Cameroon, she runs the restaurant at the National Museum in Yaoundé.
