On April 26th 2025, we are taking part in Food In Our Hands – a march organised by our trade union the Landworkers’ Alliance, bringing together farmers, growers, food system workers, activists and everyone who has a stake in the UK’s food system (yes – that includes you!). Now is the time for us to come together and build a broad and progressive coalition across the UK’s food, farming and land working sectors, and present our vision for a more just and equitable future. There’s a lot to fight about right now, from Defra’s abrupt closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme and the ongoing struggle of food producers to make a decent living, to rising inequality and continued attempts by the far-right to hijack UK farming.
We’ll be taking action with allies from across the movement, come and be a part of it!
Why are we marching?
To build a unified antifascist, antiracist progressive front within the farming sector, focussed on dignified lives and livelihoods for all
To demand the systemic change of our food system and a legally enshrined Right to Food
To demand a bigger budget for nature-friendly farming which can support a transition to agroecology in all four UK nations
To strengthen connections with other grassroots resistance movements and build consensus for food sovereignty in the UK
