The We Feed The UK photographic book is coming on 1 June 2025.
Every order supports us in opening more eyes to regenerative farming’s potential.
At a time when doom jostles gloom for media headlines, people are in deep need of positivity. Through stories of regeneration, we can start to shift mindsets, seeding new hope and resilience.
It was serendipitously important for me on a personal level, having become despondent and resigned to the environmental crisis. I was amazed by their resilience and their dedication to help raise that rising tide that lifts all boats.
Abby Oliveira, poet
Stories of women in Scotland, blooming beyond the barriers imposed by our modern male-heir mindset, reclaiming the custodianship of seed, farming, and food that they hold in most Indigenous cultures; of Black-led collectives in London sharing soursop, watermelon, and cane, ripened in glasshouses with the expertise of 80-year-olds who carried agroecology to these isles from their ancestors; of elders in Wales sharing their wisdom with young people in an intergenerational, interspecies exchange that is giving nature space to flourish afresh on our oldest hill farms.
Having told such tales to over 53 million people as exhibitions have rolled out in succession over the past 12 months, we are so pleased to preserve these ever-important examples amongst more permanent pages.
Published by Papadakis and including all ten stories, poems, and photographic curations from We Feed The UK, this book aims to open curious minds to the wonders of agroecology, and how it might just provide answers to climate change, biodiversity, and social justice.
These pages seed the potential for a system that positively impacts inextricable issues through food that nourishes human and more-than-human kind.
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, poet
We are so excited to share this collaboration, involving over 40 incredible partners, who have infused this book with a remarkable level of hope, inspiration, and energy.
We’d like to express our deepest gratitude to all of the farmers, food growers, and seed sowers whose tireless work sings off the pages. As well as our incredible artistic storytellers; our secret to engaging the masses.
This has been so much more than a commission; it’s felt like coming up for air.
