Phil Haughton, Founder of Better Food
Phil Haughton, founder of award-winning organic retailer Better Food, announces the release of his book, Food For Thought, a celebration of life, good food and nature.
Fighting for food justice, supporting the hard-working hands of organic farmers and producers, and advocating for the balance of food and nature – these have all been part of Phil’s mission and his passion for over 40 years. These topics could not be more relevant today, with global calls and campaigns to Build Back Better coming to the fore in the wake of the pandemic.
In his first ever book—filled with fascinating stories, tempting recipes and helpful tips—Phil takes us on a journey of good food, from soil to plate.
“The food that we eat and where it comes from is central to the quality of our lives, and lies at the heart of making the world a better place.” Quote from Food For Thought’s foreword by celebrity chef and broadcaster, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Food For Thought explores a completely unique and personal perspective on food, farming and the natural world, with contributions from highly-regarded food experts and green campaigners. Phil proposes key pillars for building a just world, and empowers readers, consumers and entrepreneurs alike to take the lead on our sustainability journeys, and regain sovereignty over our food systems.
It’s now up to us, “the global citizens”, to make change through action. Phil Haughton
“We must stop plundering the planet, treating its resources as ours to take.” says Mya-Rose Craig in the Better Nature chapter of Food For Thought.
As a lifelong campaigner, pioneer and champion of sustainable food in Bristol and beyond, Phil’s enthusiasm will open your eyes, make you think, bring on a smile and reconnect you with the joys of food, the wonders of nature, and what it really means to eat well and live better on our incredible planet.
