A major cabinet reshuffle in September significantly impacted the two relevant departments for food imports; DEFRA and DBT. Sign the petition in our bio calling for fair imports that's on the verge of getting 50,000 signatures! #food #farming #imports #trade #BritishFarming

Today is #BackBritishFarmingDay, an annual event to raise awareness on the importance of our food system and to celebrate those that work in it. If this post is in your feed as you scroll, we know that for you caring about our food system and farmers isn’t just a once-a-year thing.

Come to our talk at Vegan Campout on Sunday at 20:30 on the Education Stage to hear about the power we create by campaigning together with farmers! Working to stop substandard imports will help both animals and farmers, and why we need your help to do so. #vegans #farmers #imports #vegancamping

This week is #FarmSafetyWeek, a campaign run by the Farm Safety Foundation to raise awareness on the physical and mental wellbeing challenges faced by farmers. Food imports that don’t meet domestic production standards are one of the issues that negatively impact the mental health of farmers.

On Tuesday the government released their ‘Good Food Cycle’ policy paper for their food strategy. The paper identifies ten priority outcomes needed to build a thriving food sector, including upholding trade standards.

Over 30,000 signatures handed to the government! Letting in cheap food that’s illegal to produce here isn’t trade - it’s betrayal. We want food to be imported, but not at the expense of British farmers.

British farmers and animal advocates are united in their opposition to the Gulf Trade Deal’s compromise of welfare standards. Agricultural imports should be legally required to adhere to the same standards as UK farmers. Sign the petition in our bio #doublestandards

Can vegans and farmers work together? Welsh mixed farmer Ioan thinks so. Here’s what he had to say when we asked him that question earlier this month at Transition Live, an event hosted by Farmers Weekly. Let us know in the comments if you think vegans and farmers can work together!

In January 2024, we laid out 133 pairs of pink wellies in Westminster Square. It represented the number of farming lives lost to suicide in just one year.

A handful of farmers have received positive news after finding out that their in-progress #SustainableFarmingIncentive applications may now be finished and submitted. The scheme was unfairly and abruptly closed in March this year, despite farmers being told they would receive 6 weeks notice.

Further destruction of #BritishFarming incoming?... Full details on the new ‘trade deal’ with the US are not yet known, but Liberal Democrat leader @EdDavey has said that he has “grave concerns”. Sign our petition to show that British farming standards are a red line (link in bio).

We were honoured to walk alongside so many farmers, growers, and activists last month for the @foodinourhands march. We marched to demand a new and better food system that supports all farmers. Sign our petition against substandard US imports now: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ac...
