Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Contacting Individual Staff

The Local Food Plan Coordinator will play a key role in helping to deliver the Local Food Plan, which is currently in development for the local and short supply chain sector.

This two-year partnership project (ending in March 2025) is developing a growth action plan for the sector and creating a framework for future collaboration. Local and shorter food supply chains play a significant role in helping us move towards greater food sovereignty, addressing food system issues, and opening up economic opportunities for agro-ecological food producers. The plan and collaboration framework will make the sector investment ready, to unlock significant future growth.

Partners in this project are Pasture for Life, the Sustainable Food Trust and the Food Farming and Countryside Commission. We also work very closely with Sustain who are developing a similar plan for the local retail sector. LWA is the lead organisation in project and partnership management.
