Named “Humanitarian of the Year” by the James Beard Foundation, ZFP sees the food system as a major solution to global warming as well as a major cause.
ZFP members crowd-fund grants for farmers to switch to renewable farming practices—proven to be the most impactful initiative yet towards solving global warming.
Think of it like improving the grid—of food.
Just a few cents from restaurant meals, in aggregate, can create acres and acres of healthy soil and shift us from the extractive “conventional” agricultural system to a renewable food system. In fact, healthy soil could sequester all the carbon humans emit every year if farmers and ranchers reduced tilling, applied compost, planted cover crops, and incorporated animal grazing—practices that improve soil health by increasing the amount of life in the soil. That biomass is also carbon coming out of the atmosphere. Unfortunately, today’s industrial food system subsidizes practices that degrade soil, release carbon, deplete nutrients, and mistreat animals and resources.
Zero Foodprint was formerly known as The Perennial Farming Initiative.

Our mission is simple; We want to create Playful Design.
Design is more than meets the eye. Design must be experienced.
FableWood is quality wooden animals. Magnets allow you to disassemble and reassemble them as a three dimensional puzzle. The magic happens when you combine more animals! This way, you get to reassemble them into countless curious creations.
We are very passionate about making Danish Design playful, and we don’t compromise with quality and good craftmanship. We are engineers, product developers, designers and salesmen, and with all of the different tasks that these titles entail, every day we get the opportunity to bring our creativity into play.
In collaboration with Eden Reforestation Projects, 5 trees are planted for every animal sold. We are very proud to be a Sapling Partner with Eden Projects and so far, we have contributed to the planting of more than 100.000 trees.

Rebæl er historien om 2 venner og tidligere kollega'er fra landets Michelinrestauranter. Vi arbejder hver dag for at sammensætte de bedste råvarer vi kan finde og sammensætte det til en opskrift, som vækker glade hver gang låget skrues af flasken og skænkes.
Vores udviklingshold består af et par af danmarks dygtigste sommerlier, og de arbejder på at skabe den bedste smagsoplevelse.
Vi udvikler og producerer high-end RTD'er / crafted cocktails, lemonader, sodavand, sirupper og gastrosafter.
Alle vores råvarer er økologiske og i 2019 sourcede vi 74% af vores råvarer indenfor en radius af 200km fra vores fabrik i København Nordhavn.
Skål
Morten & Emil
/ Vi producerer alle vores produkter i vores egen fabrik
/ Vi bruger ingen tilsætningsstoffer
/Vi henter kun råvarer, hvor vi møder producenten i øjenhøjde
/Vi udvikler kun drikkevarer, hvor vi løfter kvaliteten på "hylden"
/Vi smager selv på alle batches, som sendes ud ad døren

Kay Bojesen is a Danish design company founded in 2011 by Kay Bojesen’s youngest granddaughter, Sus Bojesen Rosenqvist.
Our purpose is to carry forward Kay Bojesen’s design legacy from 1913, including the prestigious title as “Purveyor to Her Majesty”, and uphold his functionalist philosophy that “Good design is something everyone is entitled to”, which is the essence of the brand today.
Everything we bring to life has its origin in the archive of silver designs Kay Bojesen created during his lifetime (1886-1958). Inspired by contemporary lifestyle, sustainable design and honest craftsmanship, the original designs are rethought in terms of materials, sizes and use of objects.
We are committed to shaping high-quality tableware and interior products that are equally beneficial and relevant for all. Therefore, we are proud to call ourselves specialists within the field of corporate gifts, retail and hospitality, catering to hotels, Danish embassies, cruise ships, and some of the best restaurants in the world.

Through a unique and well-established personal business network in the food industry, we actively advise, strengthen and protect founders and management teams of companies delivering great taste in order to grow and fully unleash the potential of their business. We not only share good advice and experience, we execute together when the need is there.
We advise start-up and early-stage food and beverage companies in relation to:
SALES & GO-TO MARKET STRATEGY
Who do you sell to and how do you do it? Are they the right customers and how do you find them? What do you say and not say and how do you negotiate with distributors, retailers and agents when you meet them?
MARKETING, PR & COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
Does your brand and design match your product ambitions? What story should you tell and where should you do it? Is it the story that consumers want to hear and does it generate sales off-line and online?
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Does your product taste great? Can it get better? Are you sourcing the right ingredients, from the right supplier at the right price? Can you optimize your production with better quality and price without compromising on taste?
MANAGEMENT, HR AND DAILY OPERATIONS
How do you motivate your colleagues? Do you attract the right talents? How do you manage your colleagues and do they do what they do best? Do you actively use your board of directors and owners for development and growth?
FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION
Do you have control over liquidity, financing, bookkeeping? What systems do you use? Do you have insurance and trademarks in place? Is your bank with you on the growth journey?
