The National Farmers’ Union has been at the forefront of farming and rural issues for over one hundred years, promoting the interests of farming businesses at home and abroad

Today, our trade association is the largest farming organisation in the UK, providing a strong and respected voice for the industry and employing a team of 1,000 staff to support the needs of its members locally, nationally and internationally.

Among its many strengths is its unique network of local offices and advisers, which mean members are never far from one of our representatives.

The organisation has no political affiliation and this helps it to negotiate effectively and independently at every level – providing individual help for members who find themselves in a “David and Goliath” situation and providing a big voice on behalf of the wider industry.

Today, this important negotiation involves not only politicians and officials – in the UK and overseas – but many other groups and organisations that have an interest in farming, food and the environment.

Through dialogue, the NFU’s core aim remains: To promote a productive and thriving farming industry able to add value to the economy and its community.
