   British Sugar is the sole buyer and processor of UK-grown sugar, but currently the company provides no way for beet farmers who choose not to use neonics to market their sugar as neonic-free. And as consumers, we have no way of knowing if the sugar we buy is affected.

   Sign the petition to tell British Sugar you want them to support farmers who choose not to use neonics.
