We share stories and champion representation in the industry.

Culture Roots Collective is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black and People of Colour in UK food and farming.

We celebrate, inform, and connect individuals passionate about sustainable food systems, farming, and cultural food heritage.

What we do

We celebrate, elevate, and centre the voices of Black and People of Colour (BPOC) communities across food, farming, health and environmental spaces.

This highlights the work of underrepresented BPOC individuals in agriculture and food, and inspires others to join the movement.

Through storytelling, community-building, and knowledge sharing, we challenge systemic injustices and build a sustainable future rooted in cultural heritage and lived experience.

We support food campaigners, growers, grassroots organisers and more; our mission is  to grow deep, meaningful change from the ground up.
