Question
How is the Welsh Government working with farmers, local authorities and the third sector to increase interactions between urban communities and their local farms?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Welsh Government is committed to publishing a Community Food Strategy this year to encourage the supply and production of locally sourced food. The strategy will achieve this through facilitating partnerships amongst public bodies with strong grass-roots networks embedded in communities which bring together food related initiatives including producers. The aim is to stimulate working collaboratively and maximise well-being benefits across communities. An aspect of the strategy may be to encourage more direct relationships between producers and customers.
