In Our Hands – Seeding Change

The inspiring story behind the blood, sweat and tears of the British farmers seizing the Brexit moment to outgrow the industrial food system.

Our current industrial food system is a vast wheezing giant propped up by an outdated subsidy regime, one that pays out to landowners and leaves many farmers adrift.

But in the UK… from the hedgerows and by-roads, in the fields and furrows, can be heard the stirring of change. 

Stories of struggle from the global South have spread like pollen on the wind and inspired farmers and food activists. They have learned the idea of food sovereignty and have heard of a global movement to take back control of the food system.

We stand on the brink, the future is uncertain, but the seeds of a better food system are In Our Hands.
