Challenges for farmers

We work with every type of farmer to meet their challenges

Regardless of farm size, farmers need to grow healthier, more productive plants. They face increasing pressures from climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss, and from consumers’ changing tastes in food and concerns about how it is produced.

We work with growers to get more out of their crops while keeping workers safe and farms profitable.

Farming must be financially rewarding or farmers will leave the land. We also help to open up markets and make sure farmers get a fair price and a reasonable profit.
