The future for farming and nature
You have the power to shape a better future for farming. Let’s restore the thriving wildlife and healthy environment that food production depends on.
Around 75% of the UK is farmed, and farmland birds and wildlife have been hard-hit by policies which control how that land is managed.
Did you know we could have a farming system that grows our food, and improves the environment? Plenty of farmers want to see this happen too – together we need to tell our Governments that we want to see a sustainable, productive countryside rich in wildlife. Join us to fight for a farming system that is good for farmers, good for people and good for nature.
Northern Irish farming needs you
We need an agriculture policy that protects and restores the environment on which farming depends. It's quick and easy for you to send your comments to the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs consultation. Speak up for farming and wildlife today.
Welsh farming needs you
A good deal for farmers could help them produce food more efficiently, bring wildlife back to our countryside, restore the soil and stop flooding.
Add your voice to the campaign and tell the Welsh Government what you think.
