An alliance of farming and environmental groups are calling for the government to give special protection to small and medium sized farms in its new Agriculture Bill. The government's consultation on the future of food, farming and the environment is open until the 8th May and you can have your say

This is an unmissable opportunity to feed into the discussion on the new agricultural policy and support local groups such as  Growing Communities and OrganicLea. If you don't feel you know how to respond or want support and advice, the Landworker's Alliance have put together some useful publications as a starting point.
