Know this is probably pie in the sky but does UK Ag need a rebrand?
Approx 104,000 farmers in the UK, Each one chips in £100 or £200 so a fund of up to £20million. (Would that buy much though?)
Attempt to change the narrative around UK Ag
-The importance of good food produced in the UK to health and wellbeing
-CO2 and Methane and how the cycles work within the Climate and are not an issue compared to fossil carbon
-Changing Environment and the positives ag gives
-public perception
-livestock farming - quality protein good for people and environment
-Farming being part of the solution in climate change
-Highlighting the positive work farmers do for the environment through both stewardships schemes and voluntarily
-Showcasing the technology and science behind us, its not just farmers sucking on a straw and walking around with a stick
-Properly promoting red meat, showing its part of a balanced diet
Etc etc etc
Would be nice to take that levy money to do add to the pot and have a real go at it.
A balance approach across mainstream and social media over a couple years
Emphasis on targeting the the young generations, the under 40's.
Produce data packs for schools and get food properly back on the national curriculum
Get some well respected public figures onboard to champion cause.
