How can we think differently about food? And how can food help us to think differently?

These questions are from the literature for the beautiful project that's at the heart of this discussion.

A Taste of Change brings together research and food experiences in a three year arc that seeks to spark new energy and connection for a more just food system, focused in the UK. It's created by Dr Miche Fabre Lewin, Dr Flora Gathorne-Hardy [Living Justice] and Daphne Lambert [Greencuisine Trust].

It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to dive into the ideas behind this work with all three of them together.

We chat about:

• The women behind the project
• The role of art in systems change
• What it means to be a 'food citizen'
• What is 'A Taste of Change'?

More about the project -

"A Taste of Change brings together the creative and collective power of food and the arts. As a three-year arc of socially-engaged research residencies, the project is conceived by ground-making trio Daphne Lambert, eco-nutritionist and food educator of Greencuisine Trust, in collaboration with Miche Fabre Lewin and Flora Gathorne-Hardy, artist-curators and cultural practitioners of Living Justice. Together, their work places the matter of food at the heart of healing and transformative action to restore communities of well being, justice and biodiversity of habitat."
