“From Northern Irish handkerchief-makers to Scilly Isles fisherman who know when to let stocks replenish, a new book showcases radical solutions to our environmental problems“

The Guardian

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.

“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

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

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.

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.
