Welcome to the Book Club!

Now, more than ever, understanding the links between our food, health, and communities is crucial. Through carefully selected books that resonate with our commitment to a fair and regenerative food system, we invite you to join us.

In a world facing rising inequality and environmental crises, Gandhi’s wisdom cuts through the noise: ‘The Earth has enough to meet everyone’s needs, but not their greed’. This powerful truth reminds us that food is not a luxury, but a non-negotiable human right.

For us, progress isn’t about profit at any cost, it’s about ensuring everyone has access to nutritious, affordable food. It calls on us to challenge the food systems that are depleting our planet, recognising that a truly regenerative future requires everyone to prosper within Earth’s limits.

Growth that denies the basic right to food is a step backwards, not forwards.

This is a vital conversation, and it continues here. Stay tuned for our next book announcements and join us as we learn and act together.
