About Us
The People’s Food & Farming Alliance (PFFA) has been formed, by a small group of volunteers, to assist local communities in growing and producing food products to counter any incoming food shortages, and future crop production.
PFFA is an apolitical organisation. We welcome the opportunity to work with all political party members across the Maltese Islands, and will talk with all political parties but do not align ourselves directly with any political organisation. We’re about collaborations, connections and support. Quite simply, we want to see The People unite!
A Growing Initiative
Created and powered by volunteers, The PFFA aims to guide and educate us all, on all scales, to grow and rear our own food in achievable capacities, empowering us to counter any incoming food shortages and future crop production. We encourage you to read our Terms & Conditions and to be mindul of these when using the website, and most importantly Do Your Own Reseach!
Want to contribute an article, growing tips or a recipe for seasonal food? We’d love to hear from you!
Please send us a message
or email thepffa.malta@gmail.com
We aim to:
- Increase Malta & Gozo citizen involvement in agricultural and horticultural food systems
- Offer contingencies for potentials not addressed in the mainstream
We do this together by:
- Connecting communities with local farmers
- Offering education and possibly accreditation in the future
- Promoting natural food production
We can reap the reward:
- Food sovereignty
- Food security
- More and better choice
- Healing and empowering individuals, our communities and our farmers.
So, where do we start?
We need to consider the current agricultural landscape within the Maltese Islands.
We need to consider the current agricultural landscape in Malta. Many farmers in the Maltese Islands are restricted by government rules and interference. To some extent that farmers hands are tied due to fertiliser production and cost, fodder and logistics.
WE can help them by absolutely transforming the way we produce food, particularly in these urgent times.
