In 2022, Popeye Collective created Leeds Sauce. The Sauce was made with the community and contained a cast of ingredients synonymous with the flavours of Leeds – Rhubarb, Beer and White Roses. 

The starting point for Leeds Sauce was local food systems and dietary habits. Flavours of a FSS, a new work by Freddie Yauner, looks at the challenges facing our global food systems due to climate, biodiversity loss and commercial pressures. 

The food system is failing. Lets start talking about it FFS

Between 16th-19th March, as a part of Leeds 2023, Leeds Sauce created a pop-up sensory experience demonstrating the multifaceted challenges facing our global food systems due to climate, intensive agriculture and commercial and consumer pressures.
