We want to share what inspires us to do what we do....

These books, documentaries and stories have helped us understand the history of food and how we've arrived at today's current food situation. We frequently source these revolutionaries, whistle blowers and industry leaders who have in turn shaped the ethos, norms and values that guide our daily lives.
