Overview

We Feed The UK is an acclaimed storytelling campaign pairing photographers and poets with our most inspiring food producers. From regenerative farms in the north, to seeds sprouting between the cracks of London's concrete, 10 groundbreaking stories showcase positive solutions for climate change, wildlife recovery and social justice. Across a country that is 71% farmland, where less than half of our biodiversity remains, restorative practices are the root to future resilience. The time is ripe to shift the narrative in support of these efforts. Grown by The Gaia Foundation with collaborators across the country, We Feed The UK brings together over 40 partners from the environment and arts sectors to share time-critical stories across urban, rural and coastal areas; including of multi-generational, Black-led growing projects in London, a majority-women workers cooperative in Edinburgh and sustainable fishing along the south coast. The encounters are diverse, moving, and unexpected. Through this cultural celebration, We Feed The UK is catalysing support for a just, abundant, and downright delicious tomorrow. So far, the message has reached over 53 million people on their pathway from consumer to custodian.
