Requests for work, volunteering or internships

We are currently not recruiting for any roles but please read our newsletters for any announcements. We currently do not offer any volunteer or internship placements directly with the LWA, but keep an eye out in the newsletter or on the forum for any members looking for volunteers or workers.

Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Contacting Individual Staff

Please take the time to explore our staff page here to see who the most relevant contact for your enquiry is.

Climate

Campaigns & Advocacy

The UK Committee on Climate Change has calculated that agriculture in the UK is responsible for 10% of economy wide emissions; a figure which is closer to 30% once food supply chain wide emissions are considered.

It is therefore clear that in order to address the impact that the agricultural sector has on the climate, we must not only take into account farming and production, but also the wider food system as a whole. Particular attention must be paid to the impacts of land-use change in other parts of the world that are driven by UK food imports and dietary habits. Without understanding the connections between our consumption, agricultural production, distribution, and the environment, we will be unable to effectively address the challenges we face.

We therefore campaign and lobby the UK government and devolved administrations to implement systematic solutions to the climate emergency that allow people to access affordable, nutritious food whilst also cooling the planet; we believe that this is achievable through the adoption of agroecological production and a transition to shorter supply chains. COP26 will be held in Glasgow this year, and through the paradigm of climate justice, we will be using our platform, membership and networks to advocate for agroecology and food sovereignty to be adopted as real solutions to the climate crisis.
