Click here to read a report on the initial findings from research on Farm Hack UK . It characterizes Farm Hack UK as a thriving network based on horizontal exchange of knowledge and experiential learning. The final outcome of the project will be to co-produce a guide on ‘how to run a Farm Hack’.
Riffing off of the American initiative Farm Hack, the first UK Farm Hack first came over the pond in 2015 and since then there have been a further eleven events, including two Soil Hacks and three Lady Hacks (aka ‘The Women’s Farmworking Weekend’). Among other things, these events have aimed to create a community of collaborators to share knowledge and skills for a more just and sustainable food system in the UK.
