Landworkers' Alliance : More Farmers, Better Food

[dstudent]

The Landworkers’ Alliance campaign for 'More Farmers, Better Food'.

The Landworkers Alliance is a grassroots union of farmers, growers and land-based workers from across the whole of the U.K. We are a member led organisation campaigning for the rights of small-scale producers and a better food system for everyone.

In the 10 years following the implementation of the 2003 Common Agricultural Policy reform 35,000 farms left the land in the UK, most of these were small-scale and family farms. We need to ensure that British Agricultural Policy will not repeat the same mistakes.”

Bumping this up a bit.
These guys are doing a fantastic job, please support them, what they are doing and try to achieve is important both at local, national and international level. I have been to their latest AG meeting and it was so inspirational, please donate if you can, get your voice heard.
Thanks

' Why are we raising funds for our campaign 'More Farmers, Better Food'?

Since the Brexit vote in 2016 the Landworkers’ Alliance have worked with a huge amount of energy and momentum on developing and campaigning for our post-Brexit agriculture policy positions (you can read and download all our policy work and publications here). We have put a significant amount of our resources into this in 2017 and we now need funds for the next stage of campaigning and lobbying, both at local and national levels, to guarantee a fair future for farmers in the UK.

In the spring of 2018 the future of our farming system is going to be decided in a new post-Brexit Agriculture Policy. This will define the future of agriculture in the U.K. It is the most significant moment in generations. Now, more than ever, the Landworkers’ Alliance need to use all the energy and resources we have to influence this policy making process and make sure our voices are heard, our livelihoods defended and that a fair food system for all is guaranteed. In order to make this happen we need your help. '
