Food forms us. We share in this with every other living being.

The food web is the web of life, and from its core emanate inextricably linked issues that shape existence: our climate, mental wellbeing, physical health, spiritual connection, cultural sovereignty, ecological diversity, intergenerational and interspecies bonds.

Food forms us; it matters how we form food.  

A decade ago, we foraged six continents in search of 50 groundbreaking stories to counter the dominant narrative that we need an industrial food system to feed the world.  

Emerging from treasured encounters between critically acclaimed photographers, award-winning poets, and Earth’s best custodians of land, soil, sea, and seed, We Feed The World is a major arts initiative sowing a grassroots food revolution.

“We are making the culture and culture makes mindsets. We can inspire this change that needs to happen.”

Rapper and Hot Poet, Diz Undone (formerly Dizraeli)

Grown by The Gaia Foundation with over 40 collaborators, We Feed The World is a radical reimagining of our food system, told through hopeful stories of a future of farming that has already begun.

By naming, connecting, nourishing, and illuminating the quiet revolutionaries whose wisdom and practices bring corporate food production into question, we can nurture an informed, inspired movement, equipped with answers to so many of today’s interconnected crises.

So far, our message has reached over 55 million people on their pathway from consumer to custodian.

Photographs have a unique power to inspire. Footage of the living world can infiltrate hearts and minds, going far beyond the reach of facts and figures alone. In making use of the incredible potential of photography, we must also be sensitive to its repercussions on the world we are capturing. 

We knew the positive outcomes of sharing these stories would be great, but also that this should not come at the expense of further harming the Earth on our journey to helping her. We Feed The World is displayed on natural, low-impact, and recyclable materials.

The Gaia Foundation has been working with regenerative, holistic approaches to reviving biocultural diversity for almost four decades.

Established in the 1980s as a response to Indigenous peoples’ displacement from forests in the Brazilian and Colombian Amazon, Gaia has become a well-respected voice of experience working on issues ranging from land rights to restoring regenerative pathways.

Accompanying allies in Africa to reclaim indigenous seed and ancestral growing practices through the African Earth Jurisprudence Collective, to retraining UK growers in the lost art of seed production through our dedicated Seed Sovereignty UK Programme, we have become firmly embedded, with our hands in the soil, across the food sovereignty movement.
