Mission
To create a sustainable and healthier Bridgend for all levels of society across the county borough including all towns and valleys.
We will engage communities and collaborate cross sector to create a more equal and nourishing food system involving grass roots organisations to influence strategy, taking in account all aspects of the food system from growing, distributing, cooking, educating, influencing demand, the public plate, governance, food businesses and considering food waste.
