Here at Good Energy our belts are already tightening around mince pie filled tummies. The final Christmas Wish list comes from our partners at Farming Futures, which helps farmers and landowners prepare for the impacts of climate change. But before we hand over to them, we'd just like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas.


Dear Santa,

We’ve been very good at Farming Futures this year: running a sell-out season of events, taking Twitter to the farm and winning a Global Green Award for our work informing and inspiring farmers and land managers to take action on climate change.

So what’s our wish for 2011? Well, ‘tis the season to be greedy, so we have a few:

Fair trade for British farmers, continued commitment to the Feed-in Tariffs and Renewable Heat Incentive from Government, a secure future for Farming Futures and finally we’d like to see the food industry raise a glass, shout ‘bottom up’ and let the farmers’ voices be heard when it comes to industry decision making. Farmers have the ideas, power and ingenuity to make the food system truly sustainable.

Merry Christmas from all at Farming Futures.
