Gastronomia also places importance on the well-being of children, implementing a program in partnership with the Fundación Prenauta of Spain to transform the way primary school children in Chile eat and relate to food. They aim to combat childhood obesity and improve the quality of life for younger generations through the subject of Gastronomic Culture.

Through various partnerships and initiatives, Gastronomia strives to make a positive impact on society. They collaborate with Acnur to celebrate World Refugee Day, sharing stories of resilience and love through a book and distributing intercultural lunches in different communities. They also promote the concept of Minga, a participatory model that encourages the exchange, recycling, and valuation of products and services to combat climate change and hunger.
