Cultural and biological diversity are essential for the health of the earth and its inhabitants. Preserving and revitalizing sustainable food, fishing, and agricultural traditions strengthen that diversity.

Zero FoodPrint

Zero Foodprint (ZFP) is a nonprofit organization mobilizing the food world around agricultural climate solutions. 

Named “Humanitarian of the Year” by the James Beard Foundation, ZFP sees the food system as a major solution to global warming as well as a major cause.

ZFP members crowd-fund grants for farmers to switch to renewable farming practices—proven to be the most impactful initiative yet towards solving global warming.

Think of it like improving the grid—of food.

Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance

A network of cooks defending food biodiversity across the world.

Cooks from restaurants, bistros, cantinas, and street kitchens who support small producers, the custodians of biodiversity, every day by using products from Presidia Projects and the Ark of Taste, as well as local fruits, vegetables, and cheeses, in their kitchens.

The cooks are requested to add the names of the producers to their menus, to give visibility to their work. The Alliance Cooks travel, meet with one another, participate in events and cook together.
