The Landworkers’ Alliance is a grassroots union of farmers, growers and land-based workers with a mission to improve the livelihoods of our members and create a better food system for everyone.
We work for a future where farmers are able to work with dignity and earn a decent living, and people can access healthy, affordable food from local producers.
The Landworkers' Alliance (LWA) is a UK-wide union of farmers, foresters and land-based workers. The LWA was founded in 1985 and has over 3,000 members.
