Building Dialogue Between Farmers & Climate Campaigners
At The Arthur Rank Centre, we’re committed to fostering dialogue between farmers, rural communities, and those concerned about the climate crisis. We believe churches can help build understanding and create spaces for honest, respectful conversation — so together we can find shared solutions for healthy soils, secure food, and a thriving planet.
Our dialogue campaign brings farmers, campaigners, and communities together through events, online resources, and practical tools for churches wanting to support both climate action and farming livelihoods. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming opportunities to get involved.
Why Dialogue Matters
Farmers and climate campaigners share many goals — from healthy soils to thriving communities — yet conversations can become polarised. Dialogue helps build mutual respect and opens doors to shared action, moving beyond blame to shared solutions.

Farming and Climate Action

Day 2. Today we are making the trip down to London in preparation for the climate justice campaign tomorrow, the ARC has really helped to open my eyes to the problems farmers are facing and why its so imperative we support them and call for increased measures to aid them. Tomorrow I hope that those attending the event will support this movement and join these discussions, its vital we act as catalysts for change and work together to mitigate the devastating effects caused by climate change.
Day 1. This week, I’ve joined with the Arthur Rank Centre to learn about the world of farming, on Wednesday we are attending a climate justice campaign in order to help raise awareness about how farming and climate change activism go hand in hand and the usual social perception of farmers actively fighting against the activism is simply incorrect. As someone who is still in full time education, the sheer effects of climate change on the agricultural industry is not highlighted in school and therefore I believe its imperative that this is changed and awareness needs to be spread to the youth. My hope for the campaign is that those who attend understand the shared aim and join the ARC in helping to reshape the societal approach regarding these two apparent counterparts.
