Our impact: transforming food, farming and nature
Across farming, food, nature and public health, we're turning practical solutions into lasting change. Working alongside farmers, communities, businesses, policymakers and partners, we're helping create a food and farming system that works better for people and planet.

Flourishing farmland - Supporting farmers to farm with nature
We work with farmers to improve soil health, animal welfare, biodiversity and resilience in the face of climate change.
This year we:
piloted updated Good Life Frameworks across 73 Welsh farms
supported 30 farmer-led field labs
launched four new farmer learning networks
welcomed over 1,000 delegates to the Agroforestry Show
helped farmers across Europe engage with the AI4SoilHealth project.
Good food for all - Making healthy, sustainable food the easy choice
Everyone should have access to food that is good for their health, supports local economies and protects the environment. Through Food for Life and our partnerships across schools, hospitals and universities, we're helping make good food the easy choice.
All 56 local authority schools in Bury achieved Food for Life Served Here Gold certification.
Berrywood Hospital became the first hospital in the UK to achieve Food for Life Served Here Gold.
Glasgow Caledonian University achieved Silver Food for Life Served Here certification.
More than 67,000 school pupils enjoyed locally grown Scottish produce through our Give Peas a Chance! project.
Together, these achievements show what's possible when public institutions put health, sustainability and local sourcing at the heart of food provision.
Shifting citizen opinion
Meaningful change requires public support. Through campaigns, media engagement and public mobilisation, we're helping more people understand how food affects their health, communities and the environment.
By bringing evidence, lived experience and practical solutions together, we're helping shift the national conversation on food and farming.
Our Whole Truth campaign sparked a national conversation about ultra-processed food and the barriers many people face in accessing healthy diets.
Farm to Fork: enabling change across the food system
Creating a better food system requires action at every stage of the journey from farm to fork. This year we worked with farmers, businesses, retailers, policymakers and communities to strengthen organic farming, support sustainable supply chains and build resilience in the food system.
Highlights included:
Supporting the development of Scotland's Organic Action Plan.
Bringing together more than 150 delegates at the first Scottish Organic Gathering.
Helping launch the UK Fruit & Vegetable Coalition to increase access to healthy food.
Supporting Farm to Fork Ambassadors to champion change across food, farming and policy.
This work helps create the conditions needed for healthy, sustainable food systems to thrive.
Joining forces for change - Bringing people together to transform food systems
Lasting change happens when people come together. That's why collaboration sits at the heart of everything we do. From local food partnerships to national coalitions, we work with organisations and communities across the UK to accelerate progress towards healthier, more sustainable food systems.
Today, 128 Sustainable Food Places partnerships are driving change in towns, cities and regions across the UK, helping make healthy and sustainable food accessible to millions of people.
Together with our partners, supporters and members, we're building a future where good food, healthy soils and thriving nature are available for generations to come.
