Nature friendly farmers across the UK are urging the public to buy local when they can, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and beyond. A sustainable food supply chain in the UK has never been more crucial, particularly to help farmers provide healthy and sustainable food, and to protect wildlife and the environment.
NFFN supports over 1,000 farmers across the UK that are working around the clock to produce nutritious food while delivering benefits for the environment and reversing wildlife decline. Here is a list of just a selection of NFFN members who are delivering for their local community and beyond.
