Bwyd Powys Food Partnership was established in Spring 2022
Our Interim Chairperson is: Richard Edwards
Our Steering Group currently consists of:
- Powys County Council
- Powys Teaching Health Board
- Neath Port Talbot College
- Cultivate
- Social Farms & Gardens
The Partnership is currently working to a 6-Month Action Plan and the overarching goals of the Plan are:
1. To build broad engagement from stakeholders (identify stakeholders across each of the 6 SFP goals)
2. To ensure the food partnership reflects a wide range of local views and perspectives (hold focus groups with key beneficiaries e.g. families on low incomes; refugees; community food groups)
3. Populate an online Food Map with information about the local food landscape (share online map with key partners and members of the public via website, social media etc)
4. Co-create a food vision, strategy and action plan (hold a Food Summit in 2023 with a range of key stakeholders and decision-makers. Prior to Food Summit, work with a cross-sector of the community in Powys in order to map out and understand their views on what is needed in order to create a Good Food Movement across North Powys and create Active Food Citizens.
