Feedback is an environmental charity working to reduce the impact humans have on the planet and regenerate nature by transforming the food system. We occupy a distinct, national niche with our work as the only UK environmental campaigning charity working specifically on food systems issues. We have established a strong reputation as both an expert voice and as a practical actor; we are an independent voice regularly called upon by businesses, governments and civil society across the UK to provide evidence and advice on issues like nutrition-sensitive land use, industrial animal farming (including aquaculture), food waste, and regional food economies. We are sector leaders, highly regarded for our hard-hitting investigative research, innovative campaigns, participatory events, and track record of bringing about changes to policy and business practices through a mix of movement building, campaigns, and piloting alternative food system approaches.

Our work tackles root causes as well as symptoms to transform our current unsustainable, linear food system to a fair, circular, resilient model supportive of human and planetary health and climate stabilisation. Specific outcomes that we aim to effect from our ambitious strategy (launched in 2021), which has been backed by 3 years’ unrestricted funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, include:

1. replacing destructive, unhealthy diets with delicious, nutritious foods that reduce climate change, make space for nature and reduce the risk of future pandemics;
2. ending the era of the global food corporation and fostering resilient, equitable and regional food economies; and
3. empowering passive food consumers to be active food citizens, enabling an inclusive, just, people-powered transformation of the food system.

We are delivering these goals through the following strategies: 

• Consolidating and deepening our existing campaigns and activities arranged with an external change agenda around these three strategic goals
• Expanding some of our work and campaigns geographically, setting up a permanent base and legal entity in the EU, in the Netherlands, for work on meat reduction in the first instance; working with partners, including joint fundraising for work in the USA and further afield, focused in the first instance on our meat and finance work.
• Building our movement by taking a leadership role on anti-racism in the progressive food and farming sectors and environmental movements in the UK, and by prioritising building relationships with people and organisations outside of our existing networks.
• Making the internal changes required to be the organisation we want to be, including building our capacity in key areas such as digital mobilisation and organising.
