“It felt like I was given a gift. It was a story I had to tell. Because we need more hope. And we need stories like this to know that things are possible” – Jasmine Gardosi, Hot Poet
“This book treats us all to a glimpse through the lens of a movement for change that is gathering pace … there is hope here” – Dan Saladino, BBC Journalist, author of ‘Eating to Extinction’
We Feed The UK is an acclaimed storytelling campaign, pairing photographers and poets with the UK’s most inspiring custodians of soil, sea, and seed.
This landmark publication brings together over 40 collaborators from the environment and arts sectors to share ten deeply human stories from every corner of the UK – from Black-led community gardens in the heart of London, to all-women worker cooperatives in Edinburgh, and traditional fishing practices off the southern coast. Each chapter pairs striking visual narratives with evocative poetry, capturing a landscape not only of geography, but of care, resistance, and renewal.
The ten powerful stories in this book prove a future is possible where nature-friendly farming has a positive impact on our climate, wildlife, and communities. We Feed The UK is a call to attention. It captures a moment of transformation, led not by policymakers or corporations, but by everyday people planting the seeds of change with their own hands. These are the stories we need now: rooted in hope, grown in resistance, and harvested for a liveable future.
Listen to the BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme join conversations between food producers & poets collaborating as a part of an arts project called We Feed The UK.
