Farmers: The Custodians of the Land Who Feed the Nation – Celebrating #Farm24
As we mark this year’s #Farm24 campaign – a 24-hour celebration of British farming – we’re taking the opportunity at Buitelaar to spotlight the vital role farmers play not only in food production, but in protecting the land for future generations.
Britain's farmers work tirelessly, often around the clock and in all weathers, driven by an unrivalled dedication for their livestock, farms and farming legacies. Their commitment to maintaining some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world is unmatched – a true testament to the integrity and innovation that defines British agriculture.
Aligned with our values, progressive and hard working farmers are crucial to ensuring there is a farming future for generations to come, nurturing the soil, supporting biodiversity, and protecting our countryside. Farmers are the backbone of our food system and custodians of the land; they relentlessly manage it with care, experience, and innovation – and that’s something truly worth celebrating.
A Supply Chain Built on Responsibility
At Buitelaar, our integrated supply chain reflects these values. We believe that sustainable farming begins at the very start of the animal’s life, and so we work closely with farmers across the UK to ensure a joined-up approach that prioritises:
- Animal health and welfare
- Soil and pasture management
- Minimising environmental impact
- Supporting local economies
Through practical support, knowledge transfer, and innovative partnerships, we empower farmers to continue playing their crucial role as environmental stewards.
#Farm24 – A Time to Reflect and Celebrate
The #Farm24 campaign gives us all a chance to connect with the people who grow our food, care for the countryside, and face the challenges of farming with resilience and pride. As consumers become increasingly aware of the link between food and climate, #Farm24 is the perfect moment to champion regenerative, sustainable agriculture – and the farmers leading the way.

At Buitelaar Group, we’re proud to back British farming – today, on #Farm24, and every day.
Because when we support farmers, we’re not just backing British food – we’re backing the future of our planet.
