The Welsh Assembly Government is currently seeking people’s views on the draft food strategy for Wales, 'Food for Wales, Food from Wales 2010-2020'. To complement this, a series of regional consultation events will be held throughout Wales in September.
The draft strategy sets out a wide ranging vision of the place of food in Wales, with a view to develop a clear direction for the Welsh food industry to grow in a sustainable and profitable manner over the next 10 years.
Elin Jones, the Minister for Rural Affairs said:
“Our new overarching Food Strategy for Wales will set a long-term, ambitious, and proactive agenda to address the challenges ahead for food and farming. It will include cross-cutting strategic issues such as health, food security, sustainability and rural development. I hope the public will engage with us on this consultation to make sure that the final strategy is one that represents the best possible way forward."
