Join the Scottish Agroecology Partnership outside the Scottish Parliament to demand a meaningful just transition for agriculture
The Scottish Government promised a just transition for farming — but their current rural support plans fail to deliver either justice or meaningful support for a sustainable, regenerative transition. The majority of the agriculture budget looks set to go to large-scale landowners and agribusiness, while agroecological farmers and crofters struggle to make ends meet.
We are challenging the narrative that farmers don't want change - the Scottish Agroecology Partnership is a growing network of over 3000 farmers and crofters calling for a meaningful and fair transition in how we farm in Scotland. We’re calling for the agriculture budget to be distributed differently — to genuinely support a transition for Scotland’s farmers, crofters, communities, and environment, with redistributive justice at its heart.
Come along for:
- Farmers and crofters speaking out for change
- Clear demands and proposals for a just transition in Scottish agriculture
- Delicious hot food made with agroecologically produced local ingredients
- A powerful show of solidarity for a fairer food and farming system
All welcome — farmers, crofters, landworkers, food activists, and supporters
