Nepal 3 Zero Club Support Person Mr. Saroj Kumar Shah Tops the Global Context of the Eat4Environment Challenge
With the aim of demonstrating that what we eat can change the world—one plate at a time, the Eat4Environment Challenge 2025 organized by the Yunus Centre, Bangladesh from October 1 to 31, 2025, announced the results in November 2025. Also known as the Global Plant-Based Challenge, the initiative promoted low-carbon, sustainable lifestyles by inspiring participants to adopt plant-based eating habits for a healthier planet. The campaign emphasized that plant-based eating is not just about food, but about creating real impact—from improving personal health to reducing carbon emissions, conserving water, and protecting biodiversity. Every plate, indeed, becomes a step toward a greener future.
Youth and changemakers from 12 countries—Bangladesh, Nepal, Taiwan, Japan, Uganda, France, Afghanistan, Congo, Germany, Brazil, the Philippines, and the United States of America (USA)—came together to make this global challenge truly inspiring.
The Centre for Self-help Development (CSD), which has been pioneering the movement of 3Zero Clubs in Nepal is extremely proud to announce that Mr. Saroj Kumar Shah, 3Z Support Person from Kisan Bahuuddeshiya Sahakari Sanstha Ltd. which is based in Lamki Chuha, Kailali, Nepal, has been declared the Champion of the “Eat4Environment Challenge 2025”. His outstanding dedication, creativity, and leadership in promoting sustainable eating have earned him well-deserved global recognition.
With the support of 3ZERO Club members and staff, Mr. Shah prepared nine vegetarian dishes for the Eat4Environment Challenge 4.0 and presented them on leaf plates, reinforcing the campaign’s emphasis on eco-friendly and sustainable practices. His exemplary leadership effectively mobilized thousands of participants to adopt mindful, planet-conscious food choices and demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing sustainability and climate action.
We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Maryam Masud, 3Z Support Person from the USA, for securing the Second Position and Ms. Kemberly Sumalya, from 3 Zero Club 608-109-005, Philippines, for securing the Third Position.
CSD applauds their commitment to environmental sustainability and celebrates their achievements in inspiring youth worldwide to embrace a planet-friendly lifestyle.
