Background

Food & Forest is a wholesale and retail quality nut supplies company specialising in British grown nuts. The company works to expand British nut agroforestry through market development, capacity building, and advocacy. In practice, that means investing directly into U.K cobnut orchards and developing best practices for harvest and post harvest processing. We want this beneficial farming method to scale up and reach its full potential.

An essential financial driver of this work is the Borough Market stall we operate daily. In operation since 2017, our presence has gone from strength to strength with a new production showcase opening in 2022, bringing the kitchen to the heart of the market. The proceeds from the market have led to investments in orchards in Kent, and into best-practice machinery to ensure British nut production has a viable future. Alongside this on-the-ground work, we advocate for the expansion of agroforestry by translating the academic evidence into operational policy. Central to this is consulting with Defra and other bodies on metrics to measure true value, as part of the nascent "public money for public good" paradigm shift in agricultural policy.
