The Good Food Cardiff Autumn Festival will return to the city in September and we are offering grants to community groups to help them get involved.

Every year since 2021, the Good Food Cardiff Autumn Festival has been celebrating the joy of growing, cooking and sharing good food.

Throughout the month, free activities are held in neighbourhoods across the city starting with a dedicated Good Food Cardiff Zone to welcome the 25,000 visitors attending the Sain Ffagan: Amgueddfa Werin Cymru - St Fagans National Museum of History Food Festival.

Food Cardiff is offering small grants of up to £200 to enable not-for-profit groups to host events or activities as part of the festival.

Anyone can apply as long as their event promotes Food Cardiff’s 5 Good Food Goals which support the city’s bid to become one of the UK’s most sustainable food cities.

“Solidarity, not charity” 🤝

Against a backdrop of rising costs and greater food insecurity, a co-operative group established in Splott has created a sustainable model to help people access healthy, affordable food.

offers its 90 members weekly veg and fruit bags, along with loose items such as pasta, rice and coffee, all paid for on a sliding scale to make it affordable to all. Food is sourced from local wholesalers, with supplies bought in bulk to keep costs low.

While many community projects rely on constant fundraising and grant applications, Splo-down covers its operating costs through membership fees, which start at £3 per year, and income from produce sales. The system is not-for-profit and balances financially, with any surplus reinvested into the project.

Ar gefndir o gostau cynyddol a phobl yn profi mwy o ddiffyg diogeledd bwyd, mae un grŵp cydweithredol, a sefydlwyd yn y Sblot, wedi creu model cynaliadwy i helpu pobl i gael mynediad at fwyd iach, fforddiadwy.

Mae Splo-Down yn cynnig bagiau llysiau a ffrwythau wythnosol i’w 90 aelod, ynghyd ag eitemau rhydd fel pasta, reis a choffi, y talwyd am y cyfan ar raddfa symudol i’w gwneud yn fforddiadwy i bawb. Mae bwyd yn dod o gyfanwerthwyr lleol, gyda chyflenwadau yn cael eu prynu mewn swmp i gadw costau’n isel.

Er bod llawer o brosiectau cymunedol yn dibynnu ar ymgyrchoedd codi a***n a cheisiadau grantiau cyson, mae Splo-Down yn gallu talu ei chostau gweithredu trwy ei ffioedd aelodaeth, sy’n dechrau ar £3 y flwyddyn, a’r incwm o werthiant ei chynnyrch. Mae’r system yn un nid-er-elw ac yn cydbwyso’n a***nnol, gydag unrhyw warged yn cael ei ail-fuddsoddi yn y prosiect.

As Food Cardiff looks forward to the development of a new strategy for the city’s growing good food movement, it is also evaluating successes so far and the initiatives and ideas that have made a high-level impact.

One example was the 'Food for our Future' report published last year by the Future Generations Commissioner with support from Food Sense Wales. Taking a view across Wales of what’s working to improve local food systems and deliver against the well-being goals, the Commissioner outlined tried-and-tested policy levers that local authorities and public bodies could use.

Wrth i raglen Bwyd Caerdydd edrych ymlaen at ddatblygu strategaeth newydd ar gyfer mudiad bwyd da cynyddol y ddinas, mae hefyd yn gwerthuso llwyddiannau hyd yma a’r mentrau a’r syniadau sydd wedi cael effaith lefel uchel.

Un enghraifft oedd yr adroddiad Bwyd Ein Dyfodol a gyhoeddwyd y llynedd gan Gomisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol gyda chymorth Synnwyr Bwyd Cymru. Gan edrych ar Gymru gyfan ar yr hyn sy’n gweithio i wella systemau bwyd lleol a chyflawni’r nodau lles, amlinellodd y Comisiynydd liferi polisi profedig y gallai awdurdodau lleol a chyrff cyhoeddus eu defnyddio.

Mae ymchwil newydd o gynllun peilot Cerdyn y Blaned Caerdydd yn dangos sut y gall cynlluniau talebau ffrwythau a llysiau wneud mwy na mynd i’r afael â thlodi bwyd.

Mae adroddiad newydd Bwyd Caerdydd a Synnwyr Bwyd Cymru yn rhannu gwersi o’r cynllun peilot ac yn galw am ymestyn ac ehangu Cerdyn y Blaned, ochr yn ochr â Chynllun Talebau Ffrwythau a Llysiau Organig Cymru ar gyfer aelwydydd incwm isel.

New research from our ‘Planet Card’ pilot shows how fruit and veg voucher schemes can do more than just tackle food poverty.

The pilot gave 120 low-income households weekly credit to spend on organic, planet-friendly fruit and veg at - helping participants increase their average intake to above five-a-day, while ALSO supporting local farmers, strengthening community connections & keeping public funding circulating in the local economy.

Our new report shares learnings from the pilot and calls for the Planet Card scheme to be extended and expanded, alongside a Welsh Organic Fruit and Veg Voucher Scheme for low-income households.
