The NFU's Back British Farming Day is an annual event celebrating the food and farming sector.
Launched back in 2015, the day provides an opportunity for politicians and the public to show their support for our farmers and growers, and the work they do 365 days a year to feed the nation and care for our iconic countryside.

Since the first Back British Farming Day in 2015, the British public and politicians have shown their support on a range of significant issues that have helped farmers and growers and brought about positive change for the industry.
This year alone, more than 277,000 people backed the NFU's campaign to stop the devastating family tax that threatens the future of British farming and more than 42,000 people have so far signed the petition calling for an updated school national curriculum that represents British food, farming, and our food security fairly across the education system.
