Working with Bwyd Powys, the regional food partnership, to support community level action to make local food supply secure.
The challenges we face
Unreliable food supply
The global food supply chains we rely on are being undermined by climate change, political and economic instability and war. We are extremely exposed to food supply failures.
Carbon emissions
Food and drink consumption is by far the biggest driver of carbon emissions in our National Park, nearly 50% more than either home energy or vehicle fuel.
Water pollution
Pollution from farming and sewage is killing our rivers.
Access to land
There are currently few incentives for landowners to grow fruit and veg for the local economy. Meanwhile those who want to start farming cannot access land.
Farming under pressure
Existing farming is under incredible pressure, driven by climate change and low prices forced by global supply chains controlled by just a handful of powerful transnational food giants.
The young are leaving
Unaffordable housing and the lack of good jobs is driving young people away and decimating rural communities.
