Surreal photography, fact, metaphor, humour, story, and environmental commentary, "Food Planet Future" invites us to look closer and celebrate solutions to our planet's growing resource issue. It connects us to the climate we help shape.

Robert Dash's captivating images and insightful text not only highlight the beauty of our everyday foods but also emphasise the vital role of pollinators and decomposers, the intrinsic link between crops and cultures, and their significance for human health and nutrition.

Ultimately, Dash's work offers hope that with our cooperative creativity and unwavering enthusiasm, we can overcome the challenges posed by multiple crises and implement sustainable solutions for a brighter future.

"Food Planet Future" draws upon art, research, and innovative practices to reimagine the tangled crises of food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss.
