Synopsis

Field Fork Fashion tells the story of why Robinson, a fashion design student from the Royal College of Art, brought a bullock and the animal’s subsequent journey from a field in Shropshire to a series of finished products and dishes. It’s a book about the importance of process and provenance, as well as how to effectively create your own local supply chain. 

The author asks: ’How can we produce food and materials that tread lightly, repair damage done to the planet and ecosystems, and are fair and equitable for all?’ You might find a few answers here.
