What Farmers Really Want Business to Hear

We talk a lot about the need for stronger collaboration between farmers and food businesses. But real alignment doesn’t happen on stage or in theory. It happens in rooms like this.

This October, our Gold and Platinum members are invited to join a closed-door session bringing together Future Food Movement farmers and senior commercial teams from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Compass Group, Cranswick, Greencore, ABP, Premier Foods and more.

This isn’t a one-way panel. It’s a space to listen and learn – led by farmers, shaped by a pre-session farmer-only working group, and focused on one question: What do farmers need from business next?

• What needs to change in procurement and partnership models

• What real risk-sharing could look like

• How to build long-term trust and alignment.

This is part of our systems leadership work - shifting from talk to action by creating space for honest, open dialogue.

If your business wants to be in the room for conversations like this – and be part of shaping what comes next – it’s time to join the Movement.
