Food, farming and nature
Support farmers, save nature.
Our vision is for everyone to be fed by farms that protect the natural world. Farmers must be supported in a just transition towards sustainable agriculture. We also campaign for an end to nature loss, and a right to nature for all.
The way most of our food is produced in Europe is destroying the environment and harming people’s health and wellbeing. Industrial agriculture heats the climate, breaks rural communities apart, and destroys the natural world.
This system is propped-up by a handful of powerful agribusiness corporations, whose profits depend on expanding market access for synthetic pesticides, cheap meat and genetically-modified organisms (GMOs).
It relies on underpaid workers with few labour rights, and its impacts are felt heavily in developing countries.
Industrial agriculture is one of the key drivers of nature loss around Europe. Many of the continent’s last natural spaces are under threat.
We campaign for a just and sustainable food system based on food sovereignty, where production and distribution are radically localised and co-operative. We campaign for an end to nature loss, and access to nature for everyone.
