Our Projects

Our Projects, Campaigns and Activities aim to bring together the practical work BFFD is doing to support British farmers, farm shops, specialist producers, local food businesses and the people who want to buy from them. From building supplier visibility and creating educational food guides to developing community campaigns, partner opportunities and local food discovery tools, this section shows how BFFD is turning its mission into action. Each project is designed to help more people find, understand and support local food while giving producers a stronger voice in the British food system.
