What Types of Projects does Zero Foodprint Fund?
We fund projects that take carbon out of the atmosphere and put it back where it belongs: in the earth, creating healthy soil and better food. To do this, we focus on regenerative farming practices like composting, cover cropping, and managed grazing that can restore life to our soil while removing carbon from the atmosphere. Together, we have the power to grow more nutritious food, heal natural water cycles, and create habitat for biodiversity to thrive. Explore previously funded projects to see what this might look like on your farm.
How are Restore Grant Recipients Selected?
We select projects with the most cost-effective carbon sequestration. That means that we fund projects that have the lowest cost for each ton of carbon sequestered, with incentives built in for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and farmers that supply our member businesses.

Make Your Application More Competitive
Join Zero Foodprint on April 4th, 2024 for our Info Session about the Restore Grant program. We will present on eligibility, scoring, and how to make your application more competitive:
At Zero Foodprint, we’re on a mission to combat climate change by rallying the food and beverage industry in support of regenerative agriculture. Through small donations across the food system, we’re able to fund farm projects that draw carbon straight from the atmosphere and store it underground, creating nutrient-rich soil and increasing resilience to extreme weather. Our efforts have already paved the way for an expected reduction of over 81,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2e) - and we’re just getting started.
