At last, the Land Use Framework is here
FFCC first called for a #LandUseFramework in 2019. Since then, we've run pilots, published reports on how it could work, and last year were commissioned by DEFRA to run workshops to support the Consultation on Land Use.

With the Food Strategy, 25 year Farming Roadmap and #LandUseFramework all in development, there’s real potential for leaders to hold Big Food to account – and make sure our food system works for farmers and citizens alike.

As we look back at another big year for FFCC, we reflect on key moments: #TheFoodConversation, the #LandUseFramework and major reports like The False Economy of Big Food and Paying the Price. So much of this work is about identifying blocks to change and understanding how real change happens.
