regional ambassadors
We have a network of ambassadors who work in their local area to promote the PFFA, support local producers/local farms & raise local awareness of the importance of food independence & food security. If you would like to join this fast growing network, please read below for more info on how to get involved.
Our Regional Ambassadors are volunteers who work as PFFA ‘boots on the ground’ throughout the UK. We run twice monthly Zoom meetings where we share ideas and updates from members of the team about their activities and progress throughout the UK.
