Wye Farmers

Wye Farmers is united around a commitment to change, innovation and to resilient livelihoods rooted in an Agroecological local food system that supports nature-led farming approaches and contributes to the restoration of the River Wye Catchment.

Our core objectives are: 

- Knowledge Sharing - To foster communities of practice amongst farmers,  encouraging experimentation, shared learning and collaboration, driving innovation in sustainable, nature led food system practices.
- Natural resource restoration -  promoting and encouraging participation in practices that encourage and restore life in our soils and fresh water systems. 
- Communities - To build bridges between our farmers, local communities and students to be resilient to climate breakdown and address social inequalities. 
- Connectivity and collaborative working - connecting the farmer voice with other projects in the region.  
- Resilience - working together to facilitate the emergence of networks of co-owned, small-scale, local food processing hubs, that have the ability to support farmers transitioning to nature friendly practices. Empowering the region's  communities to directly access locally produced, affordable, nutritious food.
-  Pathways - supporting learning pathways for students into the local food and farming system and beyond.
