NEPN is delighted to be part of We Feed The UK, a storytelling campaign grown by The Gaia Foundation, which will weave together the arts and environment to celebrate regenerative farmers as custodians of Britain’s biocultural diversity.
The Gaia Foundation, in collaboration with arts partners including NEPN, have commissioned ten photographers and ten poets, to tell ten regenerative farming stories across the UK. It will be a nationwide celebration with strong local flavour, launching early 2024.
Regenerative agriculture holds the key to a better future. It’s at the heart of nature recovery, community cohesion and climate resilience. We Feed The UK will grow support for the practices that can heal people and planet, through a radical re-storying of regenerative farmers. This is a time-critical campaign, crucial for collective growth.
As one of the national arts partners to be collaborating with The Gaia Foundation, we’re pleased to be working with photographer Johannah Churchill for our specific project as part of We Feed The UK. Together with poet Kate Fox and the Soil Association, we’ll be exploring regenerative farming in rural Northumberland.
