DAVID YEUNG, GREEN MONDAY

This environmental advocate and social entrepreneur is behind some of Hong Kong’s most influential green initiatives, including his flagship platform Green Monday—a venture that aims to address issues including animal welfare, climate change and mindful

eating—and plant-based grocery chain Green Common. It was Yeung who brought Beyond Meat to Hong Kong; in 2018, he took things further by developing Omnipork, the world’s first meat-free pork product, with his company Right Treat. Vegan-friendly xiaolongbao, pan-fried pork patties and even sweet-and-sour pork dishes are now not only a reality, but widely available because Right Treat has partnered with local Chinese

restaurants. We can’t wait to see what else Yeung has planned for the future of food.

RUNNER-UP Last year’s winner, Peggy Chan of Grassroots Pantry, continues to fight the good fight for the environment. In 2018, Chan was invited to Copenhagen’s MAD conference to share her vision for a green future.
