Greencuisine Trust
Through inspiring projects, courses and consultancy, the Trust focuses on the interwoven relationships that bring life giving food to the table.Food is about relationship with soil, plants, animals, the landscape, seasons and each other. By honouring these connections we truly nourish our health.
Every day we make decisions about the food we eat and with every bite we shape the world. Food systems are complex but we believe when we are active food citizens rather than passive food consumers, we can help shape a more just, equitable and nourishing food system.
As we stand on the threshold of pushing Earths systems over the edge there has never been a more important time to rethink the way we eat and the way food shapes planet Earth.
