Henry Obispo

Henry Obispo is a Social-Entrepreneur, Environmentalist and ‘Eco-Gastronomer’ ’from The Bronx, the Founder and steward of ReBORN FARMS: the first in kind, giving life to a new eco-forward reality, by implementing hyper-local food systems. Henry’s mission is to create access, foster community empowerment and economic development through the implementation of a new green reality.

Motivated by his sense of social responsibility, Henry’s mission is to revolutionize and decentralize food systems to serve populations long ignored and disinvested, to bring forth access and a future of food sovereignty. Using food as a tool for renewal, Henry rethinks how cities best serve their populations, developing equitable green infrastructure that centers them.

Henry is also the founder of Born Juice, an ecological plant-based social enterprise, with a zero-waste model. Born Juice’s mission is carbon neutrality, by focusing on circularity, for the betterment of the planet and humanity.

Through his community engagement, as an advocate and food-justicer, Henry has developed some of the most impactful food justice programs and initiatives in The Bronx and NYC. As president of the Restaurant Cooperative, Henry is an advocate of immigrant/BIPOC restaurant and food entrepreneurs, focusing on sustainable ways the hospitality industry can engage in support of new value chains through closed-loop models and ecological best practices.
