A Heartfelt Thank You to The Urban Worm from Egino Emerging

In the fascinating journey of Egino Emerging, every encounter and collaboration brings its unique influence, shaping our path and enriching our mission. Among these impactful collaborations, our connection with The Urban Worm stands out as a beacon of inspiration and guidance. Today, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Urban Worm, not just for their ground-breaking work but also for their generosity in sharing a piece of their world with us.


The Urban Worm

Early in our journey, the opportunity to speak with the team at The Urban Worm marked a pivotal moment for Egino Emerging. The insights and experiences shared were not just enlightening but truly inspiring. The Urban Worm’s innovative approach to worm farming, especially within the confines of the US and UK prison systems, has paved the way for sustainable practices that go beyond agriculture and into the realm of rehabilitation and empowerment.


The article "Making Earth from the Inside" eloquently summarises the remarkable work being carried out by The Urban Worm. It showcases how worm farming is being used as a tool for rehabilitation, offering inmates a chance to contribute positively to the environment while gaining valuable skills for their reintegration into society. This initiative not only supports sustainable agriculture but also aids in the personal growth and development of individuals within the prison system, offering them a new perspective and a fresh start.


We are especially grateful to The Urban Worm for allowing us to use some of their photographs of prison worm farming. These images are more than just pictures; they are windows into a world where change and growth are possible against all odds. Gaining permission to photograph within prisons is an incredibly challenging feat, making these photographs immensely valuable. They not only enhance our understanding but also allow us to share this transformative journey with a wider audience.


At Egino Emerging, we are continuously inspired by the work of The Urban Worm. Their dedication to making a difference within the prison system and their innovative approach to sustainability have influenced our quest to work with prison leavers and those engaged with the criminal justice service. We believe in the power of second chances and the importance of sustainable practices, and The Urban Worm has been a shining example of what is possible when these two beliefs come together.


Our collaboration with The Urban Worm reinforces our commitment to creating positive change. It is a reminder that through cooperation and shared vision, we can make a significant impact on both the environment and the lives of those who are often overlooked by society. We look forward to continuing this journey, inspired by the work and generosity of The Urban Worm, and we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.


To The Urban Worm, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your work is a testament to the power of innovation, compassion, and resilience. You have not only inspired us but have also shown us the way to make a tangible difference in the world. We are grateful for your support, your inspiration, and your friendship on this journey. Together, we believe we can continue to make a positive impact, one worm farm at a time.


With warmest regards,

The Team at Egino Emerging
