Join Us

The Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance campaigns on behalf of millions of Australians who want a fairer, more sustainable, and more resilient food system.

We represent and advocate for small- and medium-scale producers to every level of government. We’re also a member of international organisations like La Via Campesina and have a seat at the table at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation. Farmer members also have access to our Legal Defence Fund, who will ensure that you never have to fight alone.

We can only do all of this with your support. Your membership contribution resources the critical campaigns we run, but more importantly, your membership adds to our collective strength – the more people we represent, the harder we are to ignore.

We’re excited to welcome you to AFSA!
