Sustainability Champion

Peggy Chan launched Zero Foodprint Asia last June as a natural continuation of her lifelong mission to transform our dining habits for the better. Utilising her experience running sustainable food consultancy Grassroots Initiatives, Chan’s newest venture goes even further to effect systemic change—namely, to create a renewable food system to draw down carbon emissions and address the climate crisis. The initiative builds on the work of the original Zero Foodprint in the

US, extending the 1 per cent pledge—where member restaurants pledge 1 per cent of every bill to fund regenerative farming practices—to Asia. It’s early days yet, but with heavyweights like Ando and Mono on board, the future is looking a little bit greener already.
