Yesterday, our #GetFairAboutFarming petition was debated in parliament. We’re so heartened by the support we’ve received from every single one of you who signed our petition, to those in the industry who spoke out&the politicians on all sides who spoke in support of farmers.

While there is still a long way to go in our campaign, we wanted to share just a flavour of the cross-party support for the asks of the petition from the MPs who attended the debate last Monday. Which left us feeling positive and determined. #GetFairAboutFarming
