We think food should be healthy, sustainable and fair
Bwyd Sir Gâr Food is working with individuals and businesses to create a movement that is transforming the way we grow, eat and share food.
Together with people and organisations from across Carmarthenshire we are celebrating our food heritage, promoting wellbeing and making sure everyone has access to healthy, affordable food.
Whether you’re an individual, family, school, or business, your pledge to support the Bwyd Sir Gâr Food Charter helps build a thriving, sustainable food system. Help us as we support our farmers, reduce our carbon footprint, and enjoy fresh, sustainable food.
Working together, we can put good food at the heart of our community.
