Farming and food growing

We are proud to be part of a wide movement of people and organisations reimagining what farming and food growing could mean in the UK. We work with and support community-owned farms, agroecological farmers and those moving away from industrial agriculture. We have a particular interest in farming the urban fringe, and how revitalising our peri-urban areas could transform our cities for the better. We are also working to better understand how to support people from non-farming backgrounds into farming and food growing.

We carry out research – often as part of multidisciplinary teams – to develop robust and pragmatic policy and practical solutions. We also provide consultancy support to landowners wanting to better use farmland, and to community and social enterprise food and farming projects.
