We all need food. It sustains human life on earth. It can bring us joy or cause us concern. It can evoke happy memories or remind us of hard times. Food can help us mark special occasions in life and celebrate religious festivals.
But do you ever wonder where your food comes from? How is it produced? What is the history of food production in Britain and how does it differ from other parts of the world?
RAMM’s new exhibition delves into these stories and many more that are beyond the plate. Drawing on RAMM’s wide-ranging collections from Devon, Britain and the world, it will explore the sometimes-controversial histories of hunting, fishing, farming and international trade that have defined the food we eat.
