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.

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
