Basic Income for farmers

"Without reimagining finance, transition will be impossible at the scale and pace necessary to prevent climate and biodiversity collapse.”
From labourers to landowners, livelihoods in agriculture are often precarious. A lack of funded pathways into farming makes careers in producing food both hard to access and difficult to sustain. Finding ways to support these livelihoods will be critical to building the resilient, sustainable and just local food systems we need.
Join Jo & Katie of BI4FARMERS to discuss the idea of a Basic Income for Farmers in an interactive workshop where will we share findings from a year of hosting conversations with farmers around the UK.
BI4FARMERS is a campaign created by a fresh working group of growers, farmers, academics and union co-ordinators. The aim of the campaign is to encourage farmers and food producers to discuss possible solutions to the financial barriers they face.
