Hi John,

Nobody likes being told what to eat, or where food comes from but understanding, and changing, where our food comes from and how it is produced is a critical part of tackling the nature crisis and climate change.

The first step is education. Most of us don’t know a lot about where our food really comes from and how it impacts the world around us.

Fauziya Johnson, an artist based in Manchester, has been collaborating with a group of inspiring people of colour and working class 16 - 25 year olds and together they have been exploring the industrial food system and its impacts: socially, economically and environmentally.

The industrial food system is vast and often obscured from everyday life. This group of young people attended a series of workshops which explored our relationship with food. They learnt traditional, sustainable, low-impact cooking; and discussed the violent history of our food system and its impacts on marginalised groups and the environment.

Plus, why a huge new Danish Crown bacon factory is opening in Rochdale, close to where these younger people are based. The workshops dissected the impacts that this new factory will have on the local community, as it starts to process pork imported from Denmark - as well as explored the role of activism in bringing about positive environmental change.

Our food has never been an easy topic. By asking questions and breaking down barriers for future generations, we can help confront our destructive food system.
