It had been 20 years since my unforgettable trip to Peru so despite the timing being off when @cherylnewman1 and Francesca Price asked me to visit the coffee farming community near Machu Picchu for @wefeedtheworld / GAIA foundation, I had to make it work. An incredibly positive community of farmers all working hard together to supply an organic and well produced coffee. To say they were proud to do what they did was an understatement. The love for the land and the coffee was admirable. @wefeedtheworld and #wefeedtheworld #machupicchu #amazon #peru #coffee #santateresa Thanks @cherylnewman1 ❤️. Exhibition on London's Southbank at @oxotowerwharf's #bargehouse gallery 12-21st October. This spectacular photographic event celebrates the critical role small family farmers play in producing 70 % of the world’s food. Shot by over forty award-winning photographers, the exhibition captures the diversity, success and resilience of farming communities across six continents and Highlights the many benefits small-scale farming offers our soils, our health, our climate and our human and ecological communities. “We Feed the World’s winning combination of beautiful images and powerful storytelling is a wake up call. Our most urgent task is to support farming communities around the world practicing the kind of regenerative agriculture that can keep our planet, our climate and our communities healthy into the future” - Jeremy Irons https://www.instagram.com/p/BnFLfSjFuMA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19v9r9jkr3w52
