CPRE's national vision for the future of farming, and more information on our Knutsford 'Mapping local food webs' project, can be found below.

CPRE aims to support our vision of farming futures by doing the following:

  • Campaigning independently and in coalition to push for fairer trade agreements that recognise the value of environmentally sustainable production and a reformed CAP that rewards farmers for the full range of environmental public goods and services they provide.
  • Standing up for the producers, processors, suppliers and retailers in local food networks and lobbying for a joined-up approach to farming, food and environmental policy that helps farmers prosper and guarantees supplies of high quality, environmentally sustainable food.
  • Supporting environmentally sustainable farming that enhances landscape character, and campaigning against the unfair practices of large food processors and retailers and the trend towards the industrialisation of our farmed landscapes by large agri-businesses.
  • Pressing for more resources for agri-environment schemes, and championing landscape character across all areas of rural policy.
  • Lobbying for changes to policy and the introduction of support measures that help all the farming sectors become more sustainable, environmentally, socially and economically.
