Take action: Get fair about farming - urge MPs to attend parliamentary debate
Riverford’s #GetFairAboutFarming campaign revealed that 49% of fruit and veg farmers fear going out of business next year. 75% of them cite supermarket pressure as the main factor.
There has been huge public support for the campaign, with well over 100,000 people calling for the government to protect farmers from unfair treatment. In response, the government has now announced a debate on the issue, which is a real opportunity to spur policy makers to act on fairness in the food supply chain.
The more MPs that attend the debate, the more likely action will be taken. Send a letter to your MP asking them to attend and engage in the debate.
This action is now closed
