Cardiff is on its way to becoming a Sustainable Food City after being selected as one of six UK cities to share £1m of funding towards the project.
Due to be launched in January, the UK’s first Sustainable Food Cities programme aims to make local, affordable and healthy food easily accessible to the public in order to combat bigger issues like food poverty and obesity.

Public Health Wales’s health promotion specialist Eryl Powell described Cardiff’s recent funding as “a really important step” as it has allowed for the project to employ a coordinator.
“We’re just doing what we can in our patch,” Powell explained, “Essentially we’re trying to get more people in Cardiff to care about what they eat and where it comes from.”
