We are proud to welcome Asian Christian Academy of India (ACA) as the Principal Title Sponsor of the inaugural Budding Chef Challenge (BCC) 2024.
Founded in 1976, ACA is a registered society that has consistently demonstrated its commitment to Christian service through education, healthcare, and community development. Through its institutions and initiatives, ACA has nurtured leaders dedicated to serving their communities with excellence, compassion, and integrity.
One of ACA’s long-standing focus areas is sustainable agriculture. Over the past 35 years, ACA has cultivated a thriving 30+ acre integrated farm on its campus in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. The farm features a wide variety of crops, a dairy, poultry, and aquaculture operations, along with advanced systems such as a vermi-composting unit, rainwater harvesting, sewage treatment, and an organic compost facility. Newer initiatives such as aquaponics, hydroponics, and mushroom cultivation are also being explored to promote self-sufficiency and innovation.
Building on this agricultural foundation, Asian Christian Culinary and Agricultural Sciences Institute (ACCASI) was established to offer India’s first-of-its-kind culinary programs in a farm-to-table context. These courses seamlessly blend culinary training with hands-on exposure to sustainable agriculture, equipping students with a holistic understanding of food systems. This integrated approach not only strengthens community health and local economies but also encourages the next generation of culinary professionals to champion sustainability and responsible sourcing.
It is with great enthusiasm that ACA, through ACCASI, presents and hosts BCC 2024—a platform designed to discover, challenge, and celebrate emerging culinary talent in India. As the Title Sponsor, ACA is proud to support this exciting venture that aligns with its vision to foster excellence in both culinary and agricultural education.
