A Taste of Vegetarian Britain reimagines land once reserved for livestock farming, aiming to create a harmonious and productive space for a future where the British population becomes vegetarian. This is done through the creation of three zones on-site.

One zone offers a sanctuary for ex-livestock animals. It features wildflower meadows for grazing as well as promoting more insect life on-site. The second zone transforms former paddocks into a food forest. Designed swales and berms capture water which is particularly important in a context where dry periods are forecasted to happen more and more often in the future. The food forest, through the layering of different varieties of fruit trees, shrubs and more, creates a productive landscape that also fosters biodiversity.

The third zone embraces nature’s growth, allowing the existing forest on the site to expand organically. Around the site, footpaths are created using mycelium bricks to invite the local community to engage with the space and make it a recreational site as well as a productive one. The project prioritises sustainability and coexistence, welcoming both animals and humans to create a balanced and serene landscape.
