Save Britain's Family Farms

Farmers Guardian's Save Britain's Family Farms campaign aims to help the industry navigate through the aftermath of the Budget. 

The new Inheritance Tax rules have the potential to devastate family farms, and this campaign will support farming in its mission to challenge the Government.

Save Britain's Family Farms is about showcasing the vital role of farming to the wider public, and the impact it has on society including landscape management, jobs, education, climate change, habitat restoration and food production. 

Many in the industry have got behind the campaign, championing the impact it has by bringing the rural sector together and driving farming's message to a wider audience.

For 180 years Farmers Guardian has campaigned and stood up for farming and will continue to be a voice for the industry.
