The fight for nature will be won on farmland.

Nature is under serious threat. You know it. We all know it.

More than half of birds on Britain’s farms have disappeared, soil health is at its lowest, and species that were once common are now struggling to survive.

With 70% of the UK made up of farmland, restoring nature at scale has to start here.

With passionate people like you, we can rebuild habitats, restore the soil and bring back wildlife across our farmland. 

For 80 years, the Soil Association has been working with farmers and changemakers to restore nature - and now we're going even further than ever before. 

We call ourselves the Revivalists.  Come and take your place. 

With your help together we can...

• Revive wildlife and habitats

  1 in 6 species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction from Great Britain.

  Your membership will help create and protect habitats for wildlife, from harvest mice to hares, from barn owls to vital pollinators like bees.

• Cut toxic chemicals from our fields

  Pesticide use on farmland is the number one cause of bird decline across Europe.

  Chemicals in farming are harming our wildlife, destroying fragile wildflowers and even choking the life in our rivers. As a member, you’ll help us work with farmers to grow food in balance with nature, in a way that nurtures rather than harms our wildlife.

• Make nature-friendly farming the norm, not the exception

  Organic farms have, on average, 75% more wild bees than non-organic farms.

  We’re supporting farmers to grow their crops in more nature-friendly ways, such as planting more trees and allowing wild plants to flourish. Your support will help us transform our food system, so that sustainable methods like these become the norm, not the exception.

What you'll receive as a member

Join us from as little as £5 a month and you can look forward to: 

• Joining a community of thousands of people who believe now is the time to create lasting change for our natural world 
• A monthly newsletter updating you on the impact you’re having, and the campaigns you’re helping to make happen 
• Your member’s magazine, showing how your support is helping to driving nature’s revival across the UK’s farmland  

About the Soil Association

Founded 80 years ago, the Soil Association is a charity that works to transform the way we eat, farm and care for the natural world. 

We work with farmers, businesses, government and citizens to build a nature-friendly future. One where the soil, wildlife and the climate are respected and protected. But we can only make change happen with people like you on our side. 

When brave people come together, we can achieve anything. 

This is our moment to go bigger than ever before. Join us and become a Revivalist today.
