Being recognized by community is a huge encouragement for farmers to keep going. It lets them know that you believe in them and their work.

Farmers feed us and take care of the planet, but many never see the value of their work. Nominating them is a great way to say thank you for all that they do.

I’m part of a community of colleagues across Europe who offer great support.
