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.

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

A Cardiff food pilot giving low-income households weekly credit for organic fruit and veg has helped participants increase their intake to above five-a-day, while simultaneously supporting sustainable local growers, and strengthening community connections.

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.

We’re calling on all organisations, community groups, individuals or businesses to put forward their ideas for events, workshops or talks for the Good Food Cardiff Zone.

A Cardiff restaurant has raised more than £3,300 for Food Cardiff after bringing together a room full of women for a special International Women’s Day networking event and raffle which included prizes donated by other local businesses. 

Members of the Good Food Club came together at the Caer Heritage Centre last month to celebrate World Pulses Day, with a hands-on cooking session exploring the versatility of beans, lentils and chickpeas.

2026 sees Food Cardiff embark on the next step of its journey since achieving its Gold Sustainable Food Places status. In order to accomplish this, we need a varied, diverse and inspiring group of people to help continue to shape and further develop our work to change our local food system.

Social Farms and Gardens have launched Have A Grow celebrations this year, where they will help you celebrate the beauty of community and growing through intergenerational activities that inspire inclusion and resilience in your growing spaces.

In December, it was announced that Tom Frost, from Blaencamel Organic Farm, was taking over Cardiff Salad Garden. We asked Tom to share his plans with us.

Members of the Food Cardiff network gathered at the Temple of Peace in Cardiff to celebrate the first ten years of the network, which culminated with Cardiff achieving the Gold Sustainable Food Places award in 2024. 

Following a phenomenal six years of development, success and achievement in becoming one of the most sustainable food places in the UK, the outgoing Food Cardiff co-ordinator, Pearl Costello takes a moment to reflect and welcome the new chapter for the partnership.
