UK trade policy must change: it currently supports harmful food production overseas while undermining UK farmers.

Together with the NFU, we're advocating for core environmental standards which would reduce the UK's contribution to nature's destruction & support UK farmers.

During the two years of delay, the UK economy has contributed to the loss of forests almost twice the size of Paris

With forests home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity and supporting 1.6bn people, this is an existential threat

Legislation must be laid urgently πŸ‘‡

We need joined up plans for trade, supply chains & financial support to restore the soil, water & nature food security depends on.
