Our campaigns

Together we have the potential to reach hundreds of thousands of organic consumers with our key campaign messages. You can help build the organic movement and strengthen the case for organic food and farming by encouraging your customers to get involved in our campaigns.

Keep Britain Buzzing

The Soil Association is campaigning for a ban on neonicotinoid pesticides in the UK. We want to raise awareness that organic farming is good for bees because it doesn’t rely on pesticides. You can communicate your commitment to bee-friendly organic farming and help save the bees by downloading our Keep Britain Buzzing toolkit today.

The toolkit includes banners to host on your website (in a variety of sizes), images to use on social media, text to use on your website and in e-newsletters, and see below for instructions on how to make the most of this opportunity to ensure you customers know organic food and farming is the bee-friendly choice.
