Unearthing Empire: food, land and colonial legacies in the UK
WebinarThursday 11 September 2025 • 13:0014:00
Join the first of 2 webinars to explore how colonialism has shaped what we grow, eat and value here in the UK.
Brought to you by Culture Roots Collective, Roots to Work and Eating Better this 1-hour webinar will explore how the British Empire disrupted Indigenous food systems, reshaped diets, and embedded exploitation in the supply chains we still rely on today. Through storytelling and historical insight, we’ll connect the past to the present and begin to imagine decolonised food futures.
Hosted by Roshni Shah, Diversity Outreach Coordinator at Sustain, we will be joined by Dr Corinne Fowler, author of Green and Unpleasant Land and Naomi Terry, author of Jumping Fences.
Who is this for?This webinar is open to anyone interested in food justice, land rights, decolonisation, and the histories that shape what we eat today. Whether you’re a grower, activist, researcher, or curious learner, you’re welcome here.
