Feeding Britain: Our Food Problems and How to Fix Them by Tim Lang is a transformative exploration of the complexities surrounding Britain's food system. This thought-provoking book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the fragility and potential of our national food culture.

This engaging narrative dives deep into critical questions that concern every Briton today:

  • How does Britain source its food?
  • Why is our food system on the brink of collapse?
  • What actionable steps can we take to avert disaster?

Lang paints a vivid picture of how Britain's food culture has evolved over the past fifty years, marked by increased wealth and diverse culinary influences. However, he warns that our reliance on mass-produced, ultra-processed foods threatens the integrity of our diet and health. With recent political changes, notably Brexit, Lang emphasizes that this is an unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reform our food system.

This book offers:

  • Comprehensive Analysis: Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the UK food system.
  • Critical Insights: Discover why current government approaches fall short and pose strategic risks.
  • Call to Action: Learn about the urgent need for change and how individuals can contribute.

Tim Lang's insightful work has been recognized as a vital public service by prominent voices like Simon Jenkins of the Sunday Times. Join the conversation about the future of food in Britain and empower yourself with knowledge on how to make a meaningful impact.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
