The Landworkers' Alliance
The Land Workers' Alliance are a UK based union of farmers, growers, foresters and land-based workers who work together to campaign for better food and land-use systems.
They also work internationally on topics such as Food sovereignty through membership of Via Campesina, the International Peasant’s Movement, which represents over 200 million peasants, farmers and land-based workers through 182 member organisations[1].
They launched a manifesto for tacking rural inequality at the Oxford Real Farming Conference in 2016[2], and are twinned to US based Farm Hack to bring their model of supporting new farmers to the UK[3][4].
