Regenerate the Next Acre with Anthony Myint
About this episode
Anthony Myint discusses his work with Zero Foodprint and its impact on climate change through the food industry.
Anthony Myint, a celebrated chef and restaurateur, is best known for his work as the co-founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit organization Zero Foodprint (ZFP). His innovative approach to climate activism through the food industry earned him two prestigious James Beard Awards. Zero Foodprint is a nonprofit that mobilizes the food and beverage industry to address climate change. It operates on a "Table to Farm" model, where participating restaurants add a small, opt-out surcharge to customer bills. ZFP then aggregates these funds and distributes them as grants to local farmers and ranchers. These grants help farmers implement regenerative agricultural practices, such as compost application, cover cropping, and reduced tillage. The goal is to improve soil health, which naturally sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, creating a powerful, scalable climate solution.
