More Farmers, More Food Campaign – leaflet

Join us in our More Farmers, More Food Campaign to protect British farming and ensure food security.

What is happening in British Farming? 

  • We are losing British farmers at an alarming rate.

  • We need farmers for food security. Imagine a world where we are completely reliant on other countries for our food. 

  • Farmers are being priced out of the market by supermarkets.

  • Unnecessary regulations are preventing farmers from doing their jobs efficiently. 

  • British farmers are being encouraged to exit the market via a DEFRA lump sum payment scheme. 

Why is it important to support British Farmers?

  • We need farmers for our own survival & food sovereignty. 

  • British farming is critical in times of supply chain issues.

  • Local farms are crucial in preventing government overreach in our food supply. 

How can you help both farmers & yourself?

  • Farmers are our friends, it is the supermarkets who are creating the price rises. 

  • Support your local farm shops. Your money goes to the farmers direct rather than being siphoned off as supermarket shareholder profits. 

  • Find your local community farm and see how you can get involved. Do they need volunteers? 

  • Get to know your local farmers, create direct relationships where you can. Let them know that they have public support. 

  • Grow your own and/or reach out within your local community to share growing ideas. 

  • Feeling overwhelmed? Buddy up with friends or family. For example, 6 people each with a growing area. Each person grows two crops. That’s 12 crops in total to share and you can pool resources and help each other prepare your plots. 

  • Print out our leaflet and share it in your local area. Reach out to consumers and farmers alike.

The leaflet is free to use and was designed by Nick Cooper a PFFA member from Ramsgate.

Setting up a Farming Cooperative GUIDE

A farming cooperative in the UK is a type of agricultural organisation formed by farmers who join together voluntarily to achieve common goals such as purchasing supplies, marketing their produce, or accessing shared resources and services.

Group Buying Guide

By pooling your orders with others, you can buy in bulk, and as the costs to shops or suppliers can be lower if there is a group of buyers you may benefit from significant discounts.

Funding for farmers & growers info pack

Here you will find details of different options to fund your business or project. These include private and government grants, loans, mortgages and crowdfunding. However, this is not a complete list and does not take into account what grants might be available in your local area, so it's always best to check there first.

The file contains useful information for farmers, market gardeners and growers alike. You’ll find potential sources of funding, organisations that can help with getting started, finding funds or help with training. 

Whether you want to buy a farm or diversify one, sell community shares in it, whether you want to set up a community supported agriculture business, a community garden or just want to get your community growing … there’s something here for you. 

This list is being continuously updated and improved, so please keep checking back for new sources of funds and support. If there’s anything that you think should be on here, please let us know.
