Annual Impact Report
2023-24
Collective Regeneration
Results this past year demonstrated the willingness that restaurant people and farmers have for working together to transform and restore thousands of acres of degraded land. These partnerships signals an undeniable optimism for collective action - the power that nominal effort exerted by a large group of people can yield.
With projects now in place in Thailand, Bali, and the Philippines, ZFPA will work beyond HK to recruit furthermore stakeholders with the core mission to turn that next dollar into healthy soil across Asia.
For better food, thriving farms, and a restored climate.
