Aber Food Forum has been established as a platform for promoting community and local food initiatives. We have a range of goals that include, connecting local consumers, growers and small-scale processors; bringing the local community together to talk about food issues; running themed 'community cafe' events; networking with other groups in the Aberystwyth area (such as Aber Food Surplus); providing opportunities for education and skills-development.

    We are currently working with Ceredigion County Council - specifically with Alison Kinsey, Rural Communities Officer, Cynnal Y Cardi (and her colleagues) who are funding and assisting in the organisation of a 'visioning' event that will be held in February 2017. The event title is 'Let's Talk About Food!' and the aim is to develop a clearer sense of what local people would like to see in terms of our local food economy, and to generally build a stronger engagement with food issues at local level.

    We currently have 51 members on our Facebook page - a modest start but we are gaining momentum.
