How is the Welsh Government working with farmers, local authorities and the third sector to increase interactions between urban communities and their local farms?

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.
