Organization
Oldways is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public health by inspiring individuals and organizations to embrace the healthy, sustainable joys of the “old ways” of eating—heritage-based diets high in taste, nourishment, sustainability, and joy. Since 1990, we’re helped people live healthier, happier lives by offering educational programs, resources, and recipes based on shared cultural food traditions from around the world. Our efforts span consumer advocacy (Oldways Whole Grains Council), heritage diet travel and discovery (Oldways Culinarias), guidance (Oldways Cheese Coalition), as well as the education and celebration of African, Asian, Latin American, and Mediterranean cultural eating traditions.
