Our Lab funding will be used to establish a dedicated growing space on folx farm, growing produce for our Tower Hamlets Community partners to sell at their weekly markets. Alongside this, we will explore how a commercial, small scale, regenerative farm can concentrate a percentage of its growing activity on producing foods that are often imported and staples in the diets of many marginalised communities in the UK, in a way that is sustainable and affordable. Our overall aim is to create a model that moves away from the commodification of food. We will do this by working with corporate partners who give us donations to pay a growers wage, rather than subsidising the wholesale market cost of the produce.
