Gather & Nourish

Food is not just a way to fill our stomachs, but is representative of the culture and time we live in. It tells a story and can act as a catalyst for social engagement. As the impact of mass food production on the environment becomes ever more apparent, movements advocating organic farming and local, small-scale food production are finally receiving an ear. The appeal of exotic, imported foods is fast becoming less popular than a preference for being able to meet the producer and quickly find out the processes and supply chain involved.

Gather & Nourish provides a chance for you to meet some of those makers and discover more about how they cultivated their business, and why they believe ethically sourced and produced food is important. A smorgasbord of producers – including beekeepers, distillers, gardeners, and social enterprises – enthusiastically share their appetite for food and creativity while offering an insightful and tasty slice of the world of urban agriculture, small-scale farming, and sustainable living.

Presenting an enlightening and accessible exploration of topics, including food waste and environmental well-being, Gather & Nourish affords an inspirational and empowering vision to help us change the way we think about and safeguard food sustainability for the future.
