Increasing agroecological farming in the Cardiff region: an initial exploration
The Fringe Farming programme, led by Sustain, is a collaboration with partners across the UK to understand barriers, identify opportunities and local actions, and develop national policy to enable agroecological farming at the edge of cities as part of a green economic recovery.
In 2022, Cardiff joined the programme to undertake action planning to highlight opportunities, barriers, and the resources that might be required for next steps.
Today, a report was published summarising the barriers, opportunities and potential actions which the 22 stakeholders identified during the workshop.
As a result, in 2023 Food Cardiff and partners will convene a Fringe Farming working group, which will look at how to take forward this work across the Cardiff Capital Region.
