Upsetting The Value Chain: Folx Farm’s Food Access Fund Pilot

The Food Access Fund (F.A.F) was a 17-month exploration into how a small-scale regenerative farm might focus a proportion of its growing activity on producing culturally relevant vegetables for the Bangladeshi community in Tower Hamlets, London. This deep dive will tell the story of the project — the inspiration, delivery and impact of this work as well as lessons learned and a vision for the future. Within a food system that prioritises profit over people, F.A.F offers a blueprint of a fairer way to do things.
