Jo Poulton is a new entrant veg grower based in Shropshire. Through traineeships and paid employment, Jo quickly became aware of just how little those who produce our food received financially. Believing in a better world, she started talking to colleagues and other growers about her idea of a campaign for a Basic Income for Farmers and found great support along with a clear hunger for change in the sector. Alongside veg growing at a market garden, Jo now leads the Basic Income for Farmers working group and wider campaign, writing discussion papers, co-ordinating surveys and organising discussions around the theme of financial security.
