The Global Food System
Are there ways in which we can regain power and control over what we eat, and how realistic are the alternatives?
What can we do in Wales to meet the challenges of a global food system vulnerable to the effects of climate change and conflict?
Is it possible to imagine a Wales that produces much more of what it eats with benefits for the environment and the wider availability of healthy affordable food? What can we learn from the lessons of the past?
Sarah Dickins and Simon Wright talk to Welsh food historian Carwyn Graves who paints a vibrant picture of the food grown in Wales in the very recent past.
In Brynmawr they meet allotment holders using their skills and knowledge to cultivate abundant produce in very small spaces. In Ceredigion they get a sense of change gathering pace with a protesting farmer and his daughter ploughing a new, more sustainable furrow. Whilst an organic market garden in North Pembrokeshire is already producing hundreds of pallet loads of seasonal fruit and veg despite it being only 3 years old.
