National Farmers Network
Linking local farmer groups across England - the new National Farmers Network seeks to bring family farmers together for mutual support.
|
The National Farmers Network is a network of local family farmer groups, organisations and networks across England. They come together to exchange ideas and good practice, to work together to influence the policies that directly affect their livelihoods and to gain the public support for maintaining family farms. These are challenging times for farmers and family farmers are most likely to be affected But we believe that by working together we can help bring about positive changes to farming livelihoods and work towards a thriving family farming sector. |

The project was built around the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach. If this approach is found to be effective, we think that it may be of interest to farmer groups and organisations around the country that work to support farmers through these challenging times.
