We are disappointment and disheartened at the Government’s recent announcement that the 2026 Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) will exclude farmers and growers operating on fewer than 3 hectares of land. Read our full response here: landworkersalliance.org.uk/sfi-2026-upd...

When it comes to government investment in our food and lan use system, farming and environment organisations constantly find themselves scrambling for crumbs from a shrinking pie. It’s tempting to think that the Government is short of money. It is not. landworkersalliance.org.uk/why-we-need-...

🌱 Agroecology is anti-racist 🌱 For the final video in our series "Agroecology as a Movement" we sit down with Pamela and Paulette from Black Rootz- the UK's first Black-led food growing enterprise- to explore why agroecology has to be rooted in racial justice. vimeo.com/1058509098

"Movements that instigate real change in a local context have to be grassroots." 🌱 On the fourth day of our ‘Re-Rooting Agroecology’ launch, we’re sharing this clip from our ‘Agroecology as a Movement’ series, which meets the landworkers at Lauriston Farm in Edinburgh. vimeo.com/1058504177

"The land doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care where you came from, it doesn't care who you are; it doesn't care what pronouns you use. You just exist with it." Agroecology nurtures and celebrates diversity in our land-use systems & also in the communities who practice them. vimeo.com/1057570775

"We think that land is much too important to be left in the hands of a few people. The whole community of people own the land..." As part of our campaign to Re-Root Agroecology, visit some of our members- including Tyddyn Teg- to hear why agroecology is anti-capitalist. tinyurl.com/5eabe56m

Agroecology is not just a way of farming - it's also a social movement and site of political struggle, working to dismantle systems of oppression and exploitation, promoting the autonomy of producers. Spot on from Landworkers' Alliance 👇 landworkersalliance.org.uk/rerootingagr...
