Vikki ede

Director | Project Manager

• Passionate about the transformative power of fresh, organic food, particularly its impact on overall health and mental wellbeing, Vikki brings a vibrant enthusiasm to every project she undertakes.

• In 2021, she felt a calling to start growing her own food, sparking a journey that would intertwine her love for nutrition with sustainable agriculture. By 2023, she became a co-owner of a regenerative community farm, dedicating herself to growing more food for more people and promoting sustainable farming practices.

• In 2024, she joined the farm team as Community Manager, channeling her energy into building a nationwide network of community farms across the UK. Her mission is to increase access to high-quality, nutrient-rich foods that not only nourish the body and soul but also foster a sense of community and support sustainability.

• Her involvement with the People’s Food and Farming Alliance stems from her deep awareness of the flaws in current food systems and her determination to forge a new path. Ready to be a part of meaningful change, she actively works toward building a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
