Trusts and Foundations

Support from Trusts, Foundations and Government Funding partners help us restore the soil, bring back wildlife across our farmland and make sustainable food systems the norm.

The fight for nature will be won on farmland.

With 70% of the UK made up of farmland, restoring nature at scale has to start here.

For 80 years, the Soil Association has been working with farmers and changemakers to restore nature - and now we're going even further than ever before.

Together we're unstoppable

We work closely with our funders to form long-lasting relationships, providing:

  • regular updates and impact reports

  • opportunities to meet our expert team

  • invitations to special events to meet our stakeholders

  • opportunities to see the impact of nature-friendly farming in action

It has been a privilege to support such an important programme, bringing together farmers and researchers to test transferable, nature-friendly and affordable approaches, and to see those influencing broader farming practices for a more sustainable future.
