Convinced that gastronomy can be a powerful driver of societal change, he began developing the concept of \u201cvegetable-forward cuisine\u201d as early as the 2000s\u2014well before it became a global trend.<br\/>He founded We\u2019re Smart\u00ae World and launched the We\u2019re Smart\u00ae Green Guide, the first international guide dedicated to restaurants that place vegetables at the heart of their cuisine. The guide evaluates establishments based on culinary creativity, health, sustainability, and pleasure, and is now a global reference for committed chefs.<br\/>Frank Fol regularly speaks at international conferences, gastronomic forums, and events focused on sustainable food. He advises chefs, institutions, companies, and decision-makers on food system transition, nutrition, and the environmental impact of our culinary choices.<br\/>His mission is clear: to accelerate the transition toward a plant-forward gastronomy that benefits human health, the planet, and culinary creativity.
