We want the UK Government to double the farming budget. We believe this is necessary to ensure a just transition to environmental farming, protect farmers' livelihoods, invest in resilient local food systems and support more people into farming, food production and land working sectors.

Food is a basic human right and without farmers we’d have no food. Despite this, farming receives less than 0.4% of UK public spending.
Now, for the sake of climate, nature and food security, we believe we urgently need to transition to more environmentally-friendly farming practices. We think the UK Government is failing to provide farmers with enough support to pioneer this transition, and believe it's time for our Government to show it values nature, values farmers, and is committed to securing the future of our food system.
