Food connects us. It touches upon every aspect of our daily lives, both individually and collectively. From farm to fork, the food system supports economic prosperity, our physical and mental health, and helps bring our communities together.
Working closely with our stakeholders about the challenges and opportunities for local food, the strategy aims to unlock the potential for locally sourced food to contribute to the well-being of people in Wales.
Improving the production and supply of locally sourced food can open opportunities for increasing people’s access to healthy, sustainable food with lower food miles and produced in a way that supports nature. Achieving this can help us reduce food poverty, prevent diet related ill-health, and unlock opportunities for green growth in local economies.
If we grasp the clear and significant opportunities that local food production can bring, together we can deliver benefits in well-being to people and communities across Wales.
