What do ambassadors do?
Ambassadors will be upskilled and empowered to tell their authentic stories. They will connect the farm to fork chain and give underrepresented voices a platform to campaign for a transformed food system.
Ambassadors will pave the way for people to have more knowledge about, and better access to, healthy and sustainable food that has been produced in a nature-friendly way.
Ambassadors will be passionate advocates who can champion their own work to communities, media and beyond. The programme will help those at the grassroots and frontline to share their stories illuminating the crisis that our food and farming system is facing. The ambassadors will add powerful voices to this conversation and be a step towards shaping a positive narrative for our food and farming system.
I like being part of a group of exceptional farmers. I get the chance to hear about policy early doors.Farm ambassador
