Feeding Liverpool // Good Food; Our Food

What does good food mean to you? How does food relate to our sense of identity, to our culture and to our sense of place?

Commissioned by Feeding Liverpool, Photographer Emma Case has spent time collecting stories from individuals and families within the local communities. Whilst cooking and eating together there have been rich conversations reflecting on what makes us who we are, how we connect to our roots and to each other.

We want people to have the power, voice and resources to shape their local food environments and the food system as a whole. Feeding Liverpool’s work focuses on enabling food citizenship, tackling food insecurity and improving access to good food.

Feeding Liverpool is the city’s food alliance, connecting and equipping people and organisations to work towards Good Food for All. In 2021 we started asking residents, ‘What does good food mean to you?’ We heard how good food can make us feel empowered, dignified, connected, joyful, nostalgic. Residents shared the importance of good food being for everyone, and how food is entwined with our senses of belonging, rootedness and connection to each other and this city.

Good Food; Our Food begins to share these stories.
