Small-scale commercial veg growing yields 151x more net income/acre than Welsh farm average. Welsh ave: £34.3k net inc of which 57% is subsidy; area 119 acres. Veg: £37.5 net income of which 0% is subsidy; 2 acres. It's the key to thriving rural economies. iwa.wales/agenda/2023/06…

Big idea: turn county farms into multi-enterprise / small holding units, with training facility on site. We've nearly finished feasibility study on one Powys county farm (they have 135) nearly finished! 4 farms, 4 homes, shared facilities, residential training unit @bmc_college
Did you know that the good folk of Bannau Brycheiniog emit 22% more carbon than UK average? The biggest part of their emissions is food & drink (23%), imported from the carbon spewing global food system, instead of grown locally.
We just visited a Powys county farm near Montgomery, 1 of 135 such farms. We're testing feasibility of turning it into multiple indep commercial veg growing businesses with homes & a residential training unit. Could county farms be basis for rebuilding the local food economy?
Hello @philip_ciwf. In your incredible presentation at Hay Festival you said food system is resp for most land use, most deforestation, species extinction, water use, pollution, carbon...... I'd like to quote this but need a single ref. Could you help? iwa.wales/agenda/2023/06…

How does locally grown fruit and veg sold direct to customers end up costing more than supermarket produce? Because Government subsidises food grown for supermarkets but not food grown on small commercial farms for local markets. Local food is cheaper to grow & deliver.
We've proposed discussion at @Wrffc23 about campaign to get our food back. Including: 1. Level playing field in subsidy system so small farms growing for local not excluded. 2. Change planning to let small farms have homes. 3. Use county farms to rebuild local food economy.
We propose new planning rules to allow homes on small farms growing for local. Also re-purposing county farms as multi-enterprise farm hubs supplying locally. Implementation of both has already started! iwa.wales/agenda/2023/06… @maryannbwales @nickmiller_ @PaulMatthews67

Getting back our Food: Let there be farms - Institute of Welsh Affairs
Duncan Fisher, Sue Holbrook and Dianne Spencer outline what farmers need from the Government to so they can grow fruit and vegetables for the communities of Wales
Why has small-scale commercial fruit and vegetable farming, which was once all over Wales and is the bedrock of any local food economy, been all but wiped where it once prospered? Because the subsidy system killed it. iwa.wales/agenda/2023/06…

Get Back Our Food campaign launched! Here we argue that once-vibrant local food economies (pic of Crickhowell,1930s , full of veg growing) have been killed off by subsidies supporting farming for export but not for local. We call for a level playing field. More on Friday!
