About Us

Feedback is regenerating nature by transforming our food system. We challenge power, catalyse action and empower people to achieve positive change. Food production is the single greatest impact humans have on the environment. From mountains of food waste, to habitat destruction to clear land to grow animal feed for factory farms, to soil depletion leaving future harvests at risk: the food system needs to change. Founded in 2013, we combine hard-hitting investigative research, campaigns, community outreach and on the ground pilots for a better food system.

About the role

We must rebuild the food system to halt and reverse the catastrophic degradation of our natural environment and hold those responsible for this catastrophe to account.
