  • DAYAK COOKING MALAYSIA. Sarawak, Borneo, South East Asia.  Cooking food from the forest. Tropical rainforest and one of the world's richest, oldest eco-systems, flora and fauna, under threat from development, logging and deforestation. Home to indigenous Dayak native tribal peoples, farming by slash and burn cultivation, fishing and hunting wild boar. Home to the Penan, traditional nomadic hunter-gatherers, of whom only one thousand survive, eating roots, and hunting wild animals with blowpipes. Animists, Christians, they still practice traditional medicine from herbs and plants. Native people have mounted protests and blockades against logging concessions, many have been arrested and imprisoned.

Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. People who attempt to live an ethical lifestyle by reusing trash and rubbish thrown away by others.<br />
<br />
Freeganism is an ill-defined activity and is a subset of the larger anti-capitalist and environmental protest movements. It embraces alternative, anti-consumerist lifestyles. Freegan practices also include co-operative living, squatting and "freecyling", or matching things that people want to get rid of with things other people need

Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. People who attempt to live an ethical lifestyle by reusing trash and rubbish thrown away by others.<br />
<br />
Freeganism is an ill-defined activity and is a subset of the larger anti-capitalist and environmental protest movements. It embraces alternative, anti-consumerist lifestyles. Freegan practices also include co-operative living, squatting and "freecyling", or matching things that people want to get rid of with things other people need

  • Michel le Bras at his high quality hotel restaurant in Laguiole south west France. He is a Michelin Chef well known for his quality food which is all organically produced and gathered  selectively from the region. The accent on his hotel, the natural materials and conception, reflects the style of his food. he is concerned with the environment, ecology, good produce and excellent standards...Route de l'Aubrac, Aubrac - 12210 Laguiole, France..Perched on a hill-top high in the mountains of the southern Auvernge region of France, miles from anywhere, the unique restaurant and hotel of Chef Michel Bras is regularly full to overflowing. One would swear that this extraordinary chef had studied in Japan from his style of presentation on the plate and his spare artistry in designing his dishes. However, it is only in the last few years that he visited that country for the first time. Those who believe in re-incarnation claim he must have lived previous lives in Japan. Instead, he claims his influence is entirely from his mother's cooking, his abiding love of the wild flora that braves this harsh environment and his passion for the region and town of his birth, Aubrac and Laguiole respectively..

  • The Freegan Pony restaurant in the early morning, with no electricity. The furniture is donated by Emmaus.<br />
<br />
The Freegan Pony is an alternative restaurant housed in a squat. It was founded in 2015 by Aladdin Charni with three other collaborators. The restaurant specialises in cheap vegetarian cuisine, serving meals which guests reserve a place through a Facebook group, paying €2 a meal. The restaurant meals contain unsold and donated food, collected from wholesellers at the Paris Rungis vegetable market. The Freegan Pony is located at the Porte de la Vilette on the outskirts of Paris, at the entrance to the peripherique outer circle motorway.<br />
<br />
Freegans are people who employ alternative strategies for living based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources. Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. People who attempt to live an ethical lifestyle by reusing trash and rubbish thrown away by others.<br />
<br />
Freeganism is an ill-defined activity and is a subset of the larger anti-capitalist and environmental protest movements. It embraces alternative, anti-consumerist lifestyles. Freegan practices also include co-operative living, squatting and "freecyling", or matching things that people want to get rid of with things other people need

  • Sanitary conditions in Cambodia's abattoirs are atrocious. Abattoir workers neither wear protective aprons, gloves nor clean clothes. The floor is bathed in offal, blood and excrement. There is a busy, unchecked thoroughfare of people and vehicles going in and out, treading in all sorts of dirt and microbes, many likely to end up in the food chain. A melting point for infection and disease, abattoirs like this are commonplace.
