Roots, looks into the deep symbiotic relationship between the growers of our food and the health of the bodies you and I inhabit. Experiencing the lockdown revealed a fractured system of food supply and an already ignorant relationship shared with local produce — its growers and the protection of their lands and resources.
Farming is a hard job and millions of growers tend to the land, performing hours or back-breaking work in erratic climatic conditions to provide us with produce that we take for granted.
Through my piece — I look at the manifestation of the seeds that are cultivated in the landscapes of our bodies and minds with each local meal that brings us energy to sustain and appreciate our lives — only because a grower exists out there in these challenging times.
