Kingfisher’s Impact
In addition to dazzling diners with its innovative Vietnamese menu, Kingfisher in San Diego has played a pivotal role in the local food scene by contributing to Zero Foodprint’s membership program. “We only have one Earth and we need to keep it healthy for generations to come,” says owner Kim Phan. Named San Diego’s 2022 Restaurant of the Year, Kingfisher’s commitments have generated funds for farmers to implement climate-smart farming practices, which helps restore the climate while yielding more nutritious ingredients.
“I think ZFP is a brilliant program to share quality, healthy produce to a wider audience. Only a few of us can afford organic produce, through ZFP, we can share that experience with many people. Why not join a hand to share good food, help reduce climate change and support our beloved hardworking farmers?”

Zero Foodprint is all about this thing called Collective Regeneration.
We’re convinced that we can fight climate change and grow better food with better farming practices. These practices take time, labor, and resources to establish, and historically farms have been expected to bear the brunt of the financial risk to change their practices. After decades of climate initiatives, it’s become clear that nobody can make this transformation on their own.Zero Foodprint pools contributions from all different parts of the food system to make dollars go further. We then equitably distribute those funds via grants to farmers. By directly funding better farming practices, your business’ contributions can help solve the climate crisis while attracting climate-conscious customers and increasing employee satisfaction.
