ARMs for Farms! How Retailers Can Increase the Demand for Sustainably Grown Fruit and Veg

The session will introduce the Better Food Traders Network – a new initiative launched by Growing Communities, aiming to promote the Alternative Routes to Market (ARMs) model that needs to be developed in tandem with agroecological production in order to support growers with fair prices sufficient to create viable livelihoods. We’ll look at what the BFT network has to offer ethical retailers, how Sustainable Food Cities can support this work, and outline work by the Landworkers’ Alliance on the production and supply side.
