As the climate crisis deepens, farmers are being hit first and hardest. Not only are farmers’ livelihood affected, but we as consumers also have to suffer the high cost of food due to the volatile state of weakened agricultural output.

 

Ancestral foodways know healthy soil is the building block for healthy ingredients and a balanced ecosystem. But industrial agriculture has impaired soils ability to grow nourishing food and this system has fostered unjust competition. This is why subsidizing farmers to implement climate-positive practices is necessary in order to reverse the damage that decades of conventional chemical farming has done to our food, our health, and our planet.

 

Zero Foodprint Asia’s Restore Fund helps to set the trajectory for a renewable food future that honours the work of farmers not only as food producers, but as stewards to our planet's ecosystem.
