About Behind Our Daily Food

Behind Our Daily Food brings you the human stories behind the food we eat — stories of resilience, pride, and daily reality. Photographer Marco Rutten uses his experience in the food industry and his eye for authentic, close storytelling to reveal the faces and hands behind our global food supply.

Through long-term projects and visual storytelling, he captures both the beauty and the challenges of agricultural life, from tea pluckers in Sri Lanka to market vendors and food workers around the world. His style is intimate and respectful, born from building trust and taking time — allowing viewers to feel as if they are right there, witnessing daily life firsthand.

Behind Our Daily Food is aimed at NGOs, editorial teams, and companies seeking honest, layered stories that foster awareness and connection with the people behind our daily meals. Because change begins with understanding — and a deeper look at the world behind our plates.
