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
An article by @StutiNMishra in @Independent warns that the UK could face 'catastrophic failures' in its food system and food shortages. A heavy reliance on imported food and a system built for efficiency over resilience leaves it worryingly vulnerable. independent.co.uk/climate-ch…
We always find growing celeriac a challenge but this year we've succeeded and dinner tonight was extremely good. #supportbritishfarming

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
