NFU CYMRU has organised a week-long campaign of activities to promote all that’s great about Welsh food and agriculture to politicians, stakeholders and the wider public.

The union’s Celebration of Welsh Food and Farming Week is taking place from June 6-10 and will see events across Wales to promote positive messaging about Welsh agriculture.

Wednesday sees NFU Cymru heading north to Clwyd, where the union will once again join forces with the enthusiastic Cows on Tour team to share the farm to fork story with Denbighshire primary school children.

The event is very kindly being hosted by Coleg Cambria Llysfasi, near Ruthin.

Day four of the celebration on Thursday will see the second NFU Cymru Sustainable Farming Conference held at Trewarren Farm in St Ishmael’s, Pembrokeshire.

This event is kindly being hosted by Jason and Ros Llewellin, who were the winners of the inaugural NFU Cymru/Wynnstay Sustainable Agriculture Award in 2019.

One of the highlights of the NFU Cymru Sustainable Farming Conference is likely to be the ‘farming in practice’ session, which will see a farmer panel showcasing the economic, environmental, social and cultural contribution of farming in Wales.

The afternoon of the conference will see a short farm walk around the award-winning farm.

A week of promotional activity will draw to a close on Friday, June 10 with Members of the Senedd invited to local on-farm meetings across Wales.

These visits will provide a terrific opportunity for members to engage with politicians and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing Welsh agriculture at this juncture.

NFU Cymru president Aled Jones said: “There is no getting away from the fact that Welsh farming is facing significant challenges at present and has done for some time.

"That’s why NFU Cymru felt it was really important to host this series of events to spread positive messaging about our role in feeding the nation healthy, climate friendly food, while enhancing the environment and ensuring prosperous rural communities.

"We have an exciting week of activities planned across Wales and I hope we can see the industry unite over the course of the week to champion Welsh agriculture.”
