Farmers have the power to restore our climate by implementing regenerative practices, but recent funding freezes have halted their crucial work. That’s where Zero Foodprint comes in - partnering with restaurants to provide critical funding to farmers who restore the climate while growing good food. On April 21-27, Zero Foodprint is calling on restaurants (and eaters!) nationwide to join their new Earth Month campaign: Unfork the Planet. For one week, feature a climate-smart dish designed to source better, reduce waste, or drive regeneration through donations. Visit zerofoodprint.org/unfork to join the action and see how small (tasty) actions can add up to big change ????

We are thrilled to announce that Zero Foodprint has been named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2025! ?? In the category of agriculture, "Zero Foodprint takes the top slot, for funding regenerative farming through a model so simple, it becomes radical." While we'd like to pat ourselves on the back for this one (and indeed, our incredible team deserves it!), this wouldn't have been possible without the hundreds of farmers, businesses, and eaters who have teamed up with us to regenerate. ??

Calling all chefs and restaurateurs! It's time to Unfork the Planet! This is a super easy way to celebrate Earth Week by teaming up with farms to regenerate. https://lnkd.in/ghWde5V6 “Unfork the Planet” is a national campaign rallying the restaurant industry in support of regenerative agriculture. For one week during Earth Month, restaurants will feature a special climate-smart dish designed to source better, reduce waste, or drive regeneration. Funds raised through campaign activities go directly to farmers restoring the climate through Zero Foodprint’s Restore Grants. * * * And for climate conscious diners who don't want to wait until Earth Week to accelerate regeneration, please peruse our member directory of businesses that are regenerating every day (through this spiffy new map courtesy of the amazing JB Douglas!) https://lnkd.in/g8rZwaax

Proud to be listed among this list of changemakers! Thanks Food Tank!

An impressive and heartbreaking update: Zero Foodprint just received 362 requests for a total of over $7 million . This is 4X what we expected. Farmers are standing by to regenerate and every citizen, business and government can start to team up with them. As the USDA is thawing/honoring its contracts, please consider taking a small action yourself, by contributing any amount to directly initiate these shovel-ready farm projects for compost application, cover crop planting, silvopasture, hedgerow planting and more. https://lnkd.in/ggp_EqZZ

On Wednesday, Zero Foodprint closed our latest round of applications for our Restore Grants - with nearly 4x the number of applicants we expected. 362 requests for a total of over $7 million. In case you missed it, farmers are getting pretty forked right now, and the need for direct financial support has never been more apparent or urgent. Farmers have the power to restore our climate while growing good food - but it’s up to us to work together to raise that critical funding. We’re calling on everyone in our community to mobilize - now. RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES: The persistence of our food system is on the line. We need you to commit to accelerating regenerative ag through your business practices. We have several ways to get involved, but start by joining our campaign to Unfork the Planet: zerofoodprint.org/unfork EATERS: We need your help spreading the word. Use the resources on our website to tell the restaurants in your community that you want to see them take action - it’s the easiest way to take a bite out of climate change.

We're cooking up something special this Spring ?? Who else is ready to Unfork the Planet? https://lnkd.in/eHq-wmg4

??? Join us this Wednesday, January 29th, to learn how your business can take climate action with every meal. About a third of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions come from food and farming, but we can make small changes that don’t just “reduce our impact”--we can actually pull excess carbon out of the atmosphere, improve nutrition, and help farmers. It’s a win-win-win. Zero Foodprint mobilizes the food world around carbon farming, so that we can eat our way out of the climate crisis. Learn how your food business can become a part of the solution. RSVP and discover more ZFP events: https://lnkd.in/ek2sk5HP
