Joel Davies (b. 1997) is a photographer based between London and the South West, sharing stories about traditional and regenerative land-working communities, and people’s relationships with their environment as the climate changes. He is a Sony grantee.

Having started his career as a creative in advertising, he is currently entering the world of agro-ecology – exploring how farming communities are taking on the responsibility of feeding the world whilst also regenerating the land, and the actions people are taking to make agriculture and biodiversity more resilient to climate change (such as seed saving collectives and landrace gardening).
