Campaigning for good trade that benefits people and the planet at home and overseas.
We put sustainable food, farming and fishing, and good food trade on the agenda of decision makers. We advocate for trade that guarantees people in the UK can enjoy a supply of food that is safe, affordable and good for our health, animal welfare and the environment. We want to see precious natural resources protected and damaging emissions that cause climate change reduced. We also want to be sure that farmers and food producers at home and abroad can make a decent living.
