Our vision marks arable farmers' desire for recognition about the positive contributions they make to the country's future. Farmers are pivotal to society in gaining sustainable products from our land resources because they manage and safeguard what comes out of the British landscape: food, energy, renewable materials, clean water, and diverse habitats.
Meet the NFU Combinable Crops Board
Fairness in the combinable crops supply chain review opens
The government has launched its consultation on fairness in the combinable crops supply chain. NFU members consistently report that the supply chain does not operate fairly, and has not done so for many years.
This consultation presents the opportunity of a generation to convince Defra that they need to legislate to ensure the supply chain operates fairly and transparently.
The consultation launched on Wednesday 10 December and will run for 8 weeks and close at 23:59 on Wednesday 4 February 2026. The NFU will be engaging with members through various formats, including online webinars and regional board meetings. However, the most important action members can take is to complete the consultation directly on the government page.
