Smallholder farmers produce seventy per cent of the world’s food, but they’re often overlooked, and their livelihoods are under threat from large scale industrial farming which has a huge impact on nature, our landscapes, health and society. Over the last two years the Gaia Foundation commissioned a team of internationally renowned photographers documented the working lives of small-scale farmers from six continents. The resulting book, WE FEED THE WORLD, is a testament to their resilience, rooted in their intimate relationship to the land and waters across the planet. From Uganda to Somerset, Ibiza to Colombia these intimate portraits and stories tell a story of diversity, community, nutrition, feminism and the fight against climate change.
