Fair Food Farmers United

Feeding Australia, Fairly

Farmers across the country are working hard to feed Australia fairly, but they are not being given a fair go.

What is not fair are the negative impacts on Australian farmers of cheap imports, centralized market control, overly-burdensome regulations and the rampant expansion of the fracking industry. It’s a tough time to be an Australian farmer.

Fair Food Farmers United is a platform to connect, support and provide a united voice for farmers feeding Australia fairly.

Aims

Fair Food Farmers United aims to:

  • provide a balanced voice to represent farmers who are at the sharp end of the impacts of free trade
  • raise awareness about the impacts of cheap imports on farmers
  • advocate for fair pricing for farmers selling to the domestic market
  • connect Australian farmers for farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing
  • be a voice for farmer-friendly regulations and standards.

Why join FFFU?

  • be part of the voice advocating for a viable future for farmers
  • benefit from farmer-to-farmer knowledge-exchange and networking through online and offline forums
  • belong to a collaborative farmer community
  • benefit from regular communications: a membership e-list / a dedicated Twitter account / e-news / blog page
  • place your farm profile on the AFSA website and help build a listing of members by region
  • enjoy regional and local connections with potential customers
  • connect to the national and global fair food movement

Free-range rare breed pig farmer Tammi Jonas of Jonai Farms, Eganstown, Victoria, explains why the time has come for Fair Food Farmers United.
