In September, we wrote to the UK’s 6 biggest supermarkets, asking them to #GetFairAboutFarming
Despite over 90k of you signing our petition, not one has responded.
There’s a place for you round our table @Tesco @sainsburys @Morrisons @asda @LidlGB & @AldiUK - time to RSVP? 🎄

Against this backdrop, it’s vitally important to support UK farmers and #GetFairAboutFarming to build resilience in our food system. Despite over 60k of you signing our petition, we’ve had radio silence from supermarkets and gov. Add your voice here: getfairaboutfarming.co.uk

Our research has shown that farmers feel they aren't being treated fairly by supermarkets.
@FFC_Commission's new study shows that citizens are worried about this issue too.
It's all there in black and white! We need to #getfairaboutfarming.
Petition: getfairaboutfarming.co.uk
Citizens are worried about how fairly farmers are treated. They want:
🥕 more support for farmers to farm more sustainably
💰 government to go beyond existing policies
with more investments & incentives

a farmer who uses very little, if any, artificial nitrogen
a farmer who tests his soil every three years
a farmer who moves his electric fence most mornings
a farmer who has lots of insect-hawking swallows
a farmer who rarely has time for a holiday
#farming is hard work

Buying British pumps money into your local economy, helps to protect the environment and supports jobs in your area.
The quality is high and the taste is delicious.
Buy local, support local, love local!🇬🇧
