Home Page - Our Food Trust

We are working to expand the growing of food, particularly vegetables. We are promoting the use of agroecological techniques - building biodiversity, mitigating climate over-heating and keeping our rivers clean.

Food insecurity is a grave threat. Driven by growing economic inequality, food prices are rising inexorably, particularly of healthy foods. This will generate ever more food poverty in the future. Food shocks caused by climate disasters and wars will drive prices up even more. Economic inequality is also driving up the price of land, which is priced as a financial asset for the wealthy. This is blocking new farmers from starting and limiting our ability to secure our food supply. So, as our current food supplies are threatened, our ability to replace them also diminishes.

We are inspired by the major report on food security by Professor Tim Lang in 2025, which we have summarised at FoodSecurityAction.org. He makes two recommendations: GROW MORE FOOD for local and regional markets, and BUILD COMMUNITY RESILIENCE so communities can make sure everyone can eat well as prices rise.
