DINING
Kass helped the Obamas plant the first vegetable garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt’s victory garden. Like its predecessor, the Obama garden brought the issues of health and food sustainability to the national stage and inspired people to start home gardens of their own.
In 2012, Kass helped found the American Chef Corps, which promotes diplomacy through culinary initiatives. He’s also the founder of Trove, a strategy firm, and a partner in Acre, a venture capital fund, that work to improve health and sustainability in the global food system.
