Livestock Grazing Exhibition at the Royal Welsh Fair
The Royal Welsh Show, a celebrated annual event in Wales, played host to a variety of sustainable farming and food production advocates this year. Among them was Pasture for Life, which showcased its work promoting pasture-fed meat and dairy products for the first time.
Pasture for Life, located in the Community + Food + Agroecology marquee, welcomed members, friends, and new visitors to its stand. Emma Douglas, a key figure at Pasture for Life, led the stand and delivered a talk about Meadow Management. The event also provided an opportunity for Pasture for Life to connect with the public and policymakers, advocating for sustainable grazing practices.
Other organizations present in the marquee included Social Farms & Gardens, Landworkers' Alliance (LWA), Open Food Network, GRFFN, WRFFC, and Food Sense Wales. These organizations typically contribute to such events by showcasing sustainable farming and food production methods, engaging with the public and policymakers, and providing platforms for connecting farmers, producers, and consumers focused on environmental and social sustainability.
The National Federation of Farmers' Markets (NFFN) also launched a new report at the event, highlighting the financial benefits of nature-friendly farming. The report emphasized that nature-friendly farming can not only help the environment but also be financially beneficial for farmers.
In addition to Pasture for Life's presence, the Royal Welsh Show featured a variety of events and attractions, making it a significant platform for promoting sustainable farming practices in Wales. The event included various talks and workshops, offering attendees a wealth of knowledge and insights into the world of sustainable agriculture.
