Pasture for Life are a non-profit membership organisation started in 2009 by farmers, with farmer learning and development at the heart of what they do. They aim to help people understand how grazing animals on pasture can support rural economies, regenerate landscapes, and enrich food systems, and then help everyone — from farmers and landowners to retailers and shoppers — take action, before it is too late.
