Sustainable farming, and fishing, means that all food is produced or caught to high environmental, animal welfare, and social standards to tackle climate change, protect nature, and provide good jobs and livelihoods. Agroecological food production systems benefit farmers and citizens alike.
Environmental, health, and economic indicators suggest we are not progressing towards a sustainable and resilient agri-food system. Some scientists estimate that we are on course to meet climate tipping points in the coming years, which could significantly impact our ability to produce food.
It is clear that we need to change course and work towards a future that aligns with healthy food, fair supply chains, decent livelihoods, and agroecological farming. Across the UK, we need to work with people from all corners of the agri-food system to enable and empower this change.
