Creating a healthier, sustainable, and fairer local food system in Carmarthenshire
Bwyd Sir Gâr Food is Carmarthenshire’s local food partnership.
Our aim is to co-create a local food system fit for future generations that produces, promotes and helps provide affordable, healthy and sustainable food for all.
What do we do?

As a member of the Sustainable Food Places network, we take a place-based approach meaning that we work in a way that best suits the needs of communities across Carmarthenshire. We bring together partners from a range of different organisations to work in partnership to drive and deliver change.
