The winners were recognized by Alice Waters and René Redzepi, legendary chef of Noma, with a congratulatory video where Redzepi noted: “I believe it is our collective efforts that can turn the tide and ensure our shared earth will survive. You are the champions of the future, and you are leading the way.”
