Farmers and crofters demand a just transition

The Scottish Government promised a just transition for farming – but their current rural support plans fail to deliver either justice or meaningful support for a sustainable, regenerative transition.

 

SAP’s message is clear: the people who grow Scotland’s food must be at the heart of shaping the country’s agricultural future. We are calling for public support to be redirected toward farming practices that restore ecosystems, strengthen rural communities, and build a more resilient food system.

 

We will be outside the Scottish Parliament on 3rd September to call for reforms to income support, investment in local food infrastructure, dedicated funding for organic and small-scale horticulture, and support for knowledge exchange among farmers and crofters. 

 

Join us, and our farmer and crofter members as we speak out for change… and enjoy some delicious, nutritious hot food. 
 

Join SAP outside the Scottish Parliament on Wednesday 3 September to demand a meaningful just transition for agriculture.
