We have two missions

> Building 100 affordable farms growing food agroecologically for local and regional markets.

> Advocating that Welsh Government addresses the food security threat decisively, through the new Food Strategy currently being developed.

The pursuit of 100 farms means innovations to address multiple different challenges – financing land acquisition, building affordable homes, accessing new markets, developing farming and business skills, adapting to floods & droughts, developing supply chain facilities, and integrating this process into local authority development planning.

We offer the solutions we are creating to support scaling up action nationally on food security. We are a laboratory.
