Bwyd Sir Gâr Food works closely with Hywel Dda University Health Board’s Dietetics Team to create and deliver opportunities for people across Carmarthenshire to improve their food skills; to learn more about good food and to find out more about accessing nutritious, healthy food.
Here are some of the ways you can learn more about eating well.
Bwyd Sir Gâr Food is delivering an initiative called the Food Systems Development Project that looks at how we produce, sell, promote and eat local and sustainable food in Carmarthenshire.
In 2023, Carmarthenshire County Council commissioned the ‘Future Generations Menu’ research and development to look at the integrated impact of delivering the county’s current school menus.
From September 2022 until June 2023, Social Farms & Gardens led an innovative pilot in Wales using community food hubs to supply the public sector with fruit and veg from local, nature-friendly growers.
Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales is the Welsh Government’s long-term strategy to prevent and reduce obesity in Wales.
The Healthy Start scheme is a Government initiative that provides eligible families with a Healthy Start card with money on it to spend on milk; fresh, frozen, and tinned fruit and vegetables; fresh, dried, and tinned pulses, and infant formula milk.

Nutrition Skills for Life® aims to work with partner agencies and organisations to ensure that everyone in Wales has the skills, opportunity and confidence to access the food they need for good health.
