Creating a Sustainable Food System
Project Green Fork
Project Green Fork actively collaborates with local restaurants and community organizations to foster sustainability in the Mid-South’s culinary scene. Our efforts to reduce food waste and transform the local food system include conducting thorough assessments, offering practical solutions, and providing our community with education and operational support.
Our Work
PGF supports the food industry in adopting environmentally responsible practices that strengthen both business operations and community well-being. From composting and recycling to energy efficiency and food rescue, PGF provides the resources and recognition to help establishments become sustainability leaders.
Our Impact
Through partnerships with Careit and local organizations, PGF has rescued over 250,000 pounds of surplus food since August 2023, providing more than 200,000 meals to Memphians in need. Today, PGF-certified establishments are proving that environmental responsibility and good business go hand in hand.
