Farmer and crofter-led organisations have formed a new alliance to promote a transition to agroecological farming, crofting and land use in Scotland and to call for accessible and better targeted support for small-scale production under a new Scottish Agriculture Bill.
The Scottish Agroecology Action Group (SAAG) includes the Nature Friendly Farming Network, Landworkers’ Alliance, Pasture for Life, Propagate, Scottish Crofting Federation, and Soil Association Scotland. David McKay, Head of Policy for Scotland at the Soil Association said: “Cooperation between our organisations started at the ‘Small Farms and Crofts’ demonstration at Holyrood, last autumn. As SAAG we will campaign for a better deal for Scottish agroecological and small-scale farmers and crofters, communities, nature and climate”. Read more here.
