Real Farming Trust

The Real Farming Trust (RFT) is a UK charity that supports enlightened agriculture – farming that provides good food for everyone forever, without cruelty or injustice and without adversely affecting other people and the biosphere.

Enlightened Agriculture (aka ‘Real Farming’) is based on three key concepts: (1) agroecology, where individual farms are conceived as ecosystems, and agriculture as a whole is seen as a key component of the biosphere; (2) economic democracy, in practice rooted primarily in small to medium-sized enterprises that are generally conceived as social enterprises and are often cooperative in nature and community-owned; and (3) food sovereignty, the idea that individuals and communities everywhere must have control over their own food supply.
