Lots happening at the Yorkshire Integration Festival tomorrow.
It will include a @FeedingNation exhibition charting the life of migrant workers who pick fruit and veg in the UK.

Fruit pickers and migrant farm workers are back in the news I see. Time to revisit the brilliant ‘Feeding the Nation’ project.

Migrants and seasonal produce dominate many of our headlines. But we hear little about migrants in UK farming.
In our latest online exhibition @FeedingNation share the stories of those who pick our cabbages and daffodils.

Another fab collection from @TheMERL - history of 'homegrown produce' is pertinent when questioning its future amongst post-Brexit visas & production costs 🤔 #foodshortages
'Our Green Stories' @TheMERL has just gone live. There's a gallery trail too.
