Cymraeg Our campaigns and policy work is rooted in our vision of creating a better food, farming and land-use system for all based on the principles of agroecology and food sovereignty.
To achieve this, our mission is fivefold:
- To advocate for our members’ interests across all sectors on a UK level, as well in England, Wales and Scotland
- To support diverse new entrants into agroecological farming, forestry and land work
- To advocate for more sustainable and agroecological land-use systems and farming practices
- To build and support a UK food sovereignty movement
- To stand and act in solidarity with peasant struggles across the globe.
Our work is grounded in evidence drawn from academic research as well as from our members’ experiences, and we actively engage with universities and independent researchers through the Agroecology Research Collaboration to ensure the research needs of our members are met.

FEATURED CAMPAIGN
#SoyNoMore!
Exploring Alternative Feed for UK Pig and Poultry
What’s the issue?
Rising global demand for soy is contributing to widespread deforestation in the Global South, and the majority of this demand is coming from the animal feed industry – mainly for feeding pig and poultry. This campaign is a collaboration between LWA, PFLA, Sustain, Feedback and Hodmedod’s and will analyse the impacts of soy-based animal feed as well as explore the alternatives that exist and how this relates to land-use. Keep an eye out for our report, launching Spring 2023.
