Create a Charter of Stewardship for farming, food & heritage sports sectors

Petition Details

Create a Charter of Stewardship for farmers, butchers, fishmongers & those in heritage sports. The Charter should repeal 2026 digital reporting mandates, protect the Section 2 license distinction, halt bird shooting bans & bring forward a Farmer-Led Land Use Framework over industrial rewilding.

Additional Information

We feel this is needed to secure our food and heritage. We believe current 2026 policies like the March 18 Land Use Framework and mandatory digital reporting create a “digital noose” that many disagree with.

We reject the merging of Section 1 & 2 licenses and the January 2026 "Processing Statement" requirement on local trade. We believe stewardship should remain in the hands of those who work the land and sea, not desktop modellers. Policy should be evidence-led to protect our ability to harvest and manage our countryside.
