A mission to stop farmwashing
Riverford Organic Farmers have launched their campaign Farmers Against Farmwashing, to highlight how misleading marketing by supermarkets is masking a harsh reality – the decline of Britain's small family farms.
Our global food system is not fair.
Farmers in the UK are being squeezed by big supermarkets to produce at ever lower prices, many are going bust. Meanwhile smaller food producers in low-income countries are not even able to feed their families three meals per day, often because they are being exploited by larger players in global supply chains.
This madness can be fixed if we all work together to call for better treatment of farmers, and that’s why we’re supporting Riverford’s campaign to call out #Farmwashing in UK supermarkets.
