The Soft Protest Digest was a research collective founded by Danish farmer and artist Nickie Sigurdsson, with French designers and artists Robin Bantigny and Jérémie Rentien Lando. Robin Bantigny continues to use this website to document and archive his own researches.

The collective is using different narratives to test how food culture, in the context of climate change, is created and altered. Calling on the use of fictional traditions, multi-species storytellings, publishing, the landscape and local knowledge; the collective believes that stories create kinship and allies, much needed in a time of environmental breakdown, in order to imagine and realise liveable futures. These means will hopefully dismantle the structural problems related to the current food web.
