Other food projects | Food - What are we doing?

As a Food Vale partner, we support the Vale Food Trail. The Food Vale partnership is overseen by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board Public Health team. Delivered in collaboration with local partners, the partnership aims to build a thriving, healthy and sustainable food system in the Vale. Following a successful launch in 2023, Food Vale secured funding Shared Prosperity funding to organise another trail for 2024. The Vale Food Trail is a two-week calendar of multi-location events, designed to bring people closer to food producers and businesses in the local area. It also acts as a celebration of the region's rich gastronomic heritage and commitment to sustainable farming practices. Visitors and locals are able to visit a variety of producers, farms and other businesses around the area who have all signed up to offer a range of free and paid-for events which showcase food that is good for people, planet and place. The 2024 festival featured more than 25 local businesses offering farm tours, tasting events, special exhibitions, live demos and more.
