At Company Drinks we pick and make drinks, as much as we ask questions about what local food production means to us all..... We are hosting a communal lunch to enjoy local food and to unpack some of the politics behind its production.... This April we're thrilled to be joined by Sara Barnes from the Landworkers' Alliance: A grassroots union representing farmers, growers and land-based workers. After a talk from Sara we'll be watching In Our Hands: Seeding Change, a documentary telling the stories behind the blood, sweat and tears of the British farmers seizing the Brexit moment to outgrow the industrial food system....

Digesting Politics Lunches are BACK! This year we’re running them quarterly. With a different guest speaker and Challenging Food Politics topic for each season of the year….
