The Wales Real Food and Farming Conference is arranged by a team from a range of organizations in the food, farming and other sectors. All are passionate about developing and supporting sustainable, equitable and resilient farming and food systems. We believe that farming and food can be good for people, communities and the environment.
Funding
The costs of the conference and the occasional employment of support staff are entirely met by the sale of tickets and by conference sponsors, without whom we could not continue. Members of the steering group are all volunteers, and we also benefit from the support of some of their employing organizations, who sometimes assist with practical help. We are also indebted to our conference volunteers.
People
Our steering group changes from year to year, as interested people find that they have more or less time available to help. Our current steering group is:
