Why You Should Work With Us
Humanity is facing the twin-crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. Food production takes up almost half of the planet’s land surface and has impacted every ocean fishery. This affects everyone, but as an industry we have a responsibility and unique opportunity to act.
We believe food production can and must be part of the solution. For over 20 years we have partnered with farmers and corporations to build resilient, restorative and biodiverse food systems. Together we have delivered award-winning programmes and results. See our recent work with McDonald’s Corporation as an example of our impact.
We are farmers, scientists and consultants. We understand the challenges and the power of cooperation to solve them. Our impacts are well evidenced, and benefit the welfare and health of animals, the environment, business and community.
FAI have offices in England, Norway, Brazil and the US and a regenerative farming enterprise in Oxford, UK.
