THE WE FEED THE UK BOOK

“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

Filled with all ten groundbreaking stories, poems, and photography series from We Feed The UK, this book opens curious minds to the wonders of agroecology and the often-overlooked answers it provides for climate restoration, nature regeneration, and social justice.

Every book sold supports us in opening more eyes to regenerative farming’s potential.

Published by Papadakis, the We Feed The UK book 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.

“Part photo book, part poetry anthology, part gentle, multi-vocal manifesto, We Feed The UK energetically sets about the task of reconnecting us with where our food comes from.”

Hannibal Rhoades

“A must-have title for anyone interested in the rapidly growing regenerative farming and sustainable agriculture movements. Each chaper pairs striking visual narratives with evocative poetry, capturing a landscape not only of geography, but of care, resistance, and renewal.”

ACC Art Books

We deeply believe that through tales of regeneration, we can start to shift mindsets, seeding new hope and resilience.

This book shares those 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.

The ten chapters you will encounter in this book are vital for the re-imagining that needs to take place across our food system and beyond. They provide a blueprint for others, fostering in the audience a sense of positivity and agency that is contagious.”

Rowan Phillimore

Featuring over 40 partners from across the movement, these rich 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

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, who have infused this book with a remarkable level of hope, inspiration, and energy.

Every online review helps the We Feed The UK book reach more people on their pathway from consumer to custodian.

“This has been so much more than a commission; it’s felt like coming up for air.”

Striking, honest, and deeply moving

An urgent message but also a celebration of how communal action can transform our world. This book offers a powerful glimpse into the lives of farmers and food growers across the UK, many of whom are working at the forefront of sustainable agriculture. The photography is striking in its honesty, and deeply moving. It’s both a celebration of local food cultures, whilst also, raising important questions about land, equity, and the future of food. Essential reading for anyone interested in food systems and environmental justice! I am so glad I stumbled upon this book, it has changed my views for the better!

A beautifully crafted celebration of regenerative farming in the UK

We Feed The UK is a stunningly produced book – the kind of thing you want to leave out on your coffee table and keep returning to. The visuals are powerful, raw, and honest, capturing the heart and soul of regenerative agriculture through human stories rather than abstract theory. It’s a photographic and narrative journey across the UK’s land and farming communities, reminding us of the deep connection between food, culture, and ecology.

If you’re interested in food, land, climate, or just appreciate powerful photography and human-centred storytelling – this is a worthy addition to your shelf.

This book provides a striking collection of insightful and moving stories, images and poems capturing various aspects of the day to day life of food producers who have benefited from abandoning industrialised food production practices.

The benefits of increased ecological and economic resilience as well as greater societal equality are brought to light through art.
