Farmer Services Support x2

About our Organisation

The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of
human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues
in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we
support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn’t do any of this without
our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world
where it’s needed the most.

About the Opportunity

Soil Association Exchange is a new service and web-based platform for all UK farmers to help
them farm in a way that improves the climate, protects nature and enhances their profitability.
Exchange works with farmers to measure the environmental impact and then delivers bespoke
advice on how those scores can be improved. Crucially, it then helps farmers understand and
take advantage of the links between farming more sustainably and farming profitably. Exchange
is a fast-paced, commercial startup that spun out of the Soil Association charity in 2022.
Exchange sells its services to a variety of customers including retailers (e.g. M&S and
Sainsburys), processors (e.g. Riverford and Arla) and financial institutions (e.g. Lloyds
Banking Group). Through these companies we are set to work with over 600 farms in 2024. The
Farmer Services Support role will be crucial in establishing strong relationships with our
farmers, setting the tone for their engagement with Exchange.
