Farmers & growers are facing a cashflow crisis and need urgent action to plan next year's food production
Farmers and growers produce the food on our tables, but right now many are fighting for their future.
The worst drought in 50 years has led to failed crops, severely reduced harvests and poor grass growth. Soaring fuel, fertiliser and energy costs are adding to the pressure, while livestock and dairy farmers face the UK’s most significant bluetongue outbreak on record.
Without urgent help, some farmers may not have the funds they need to plant next year’s crops or keep their businesses going. That puts the future of British farming, and our supply of homegrown food, at risk.
We are calling on the government to provide short-term loans and introduce a fallen stock scheme, giving farmers the breathing space to recover and plan for the year ahead.
Add your name and stand with Britain’s farmers. Together, we can urge the government to act now to protect the future of British food.
