Farmers for Action (FFA) is a minor organisation representing farmers in the United Kingdom.

Background

[edit]

It was founded in Worcestershire in May 2000 by David Handley. Handley has been the only person to hold the position of chairman since the FFA was established[1][2][3]

The group has been described by some as militant due to its proactive protest strategy.[2]
