Advisory roles

In 2025, FFCC was appointed as secretariat for All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Farming. The Farming APPG is a cross-party forum for MPs and peers to discuss issues around food, farming and rural affairs. Our aim is bring a wide range of perspectives on agriculture to Parliament and work to support a positive and prosperous future for Britain's farmer and rural communities. The group is chaired Terry Jermy MP and Rachel Gilmour MP.

We started by bringing the voices of young farmers to APPG members, with subsequent sessions focusing on profitability, nature and land use.

In early 2025, FFCC Chief Executive Sue Pritchard was appointed to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero's (DESNZ) Net Zero Council alongside other leaders across civil society, local authorities, business and government. The Council provides advice to government to support net zero strategy development, coordinate action to address cross-economy challenges, and maximise the many economic and societal opportunities offered by the net zero transition.

Sue has joined six meetings of the Net Zero Council so far. Explore the membership and read the discussions through the link below.

In preparation for the United Kingdom's G20 Presidency in 2027, FFCC Chief Executive Sue Pritchard is co-chairing the Food Security and Systems working group within The New Alignment Hub. Convened by the UCL Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP), The New Alignment is a federating platform connecting cutting-edge research to real action, helping the G20 make better decisions for a fairer and more sustainable global economy.

Sue's co-chairs are World Vision International's Andrea Galante and the United Nations Development Program's (UNDP) José Luis Chicoma.
