Food Vale launches Good Food Movement video starring local pupils

We’re delighted to announce the launch of a new video from Food Vale, the Vale of Glamorgan’s sustainable food partnership, which sits within the Cardiff and Vale University Hospital Board. It is part of the broader Sustainable Food Places programme led by the Soil Association, Food Matters and Sustain: The Alliance For Better Food And Farming, in addition to linking into our Move More Eat Well plan.

Food Vale works to ensure that every person in the Vale of Glamorgan has access to healthy food every day and the information to make good choices to support better health, thriving local businesses and a flourishing natural world.

The 2.5-minute video has been created in collaboration with Barry school children, and promotes the Good Food Movement in the Vale, as well as introducing the public to the Food Vale Charter.

The Charter comprises three key priorities:

• A good meal for everyone every day

• Thriving independent food businesses which are supported and valued

• Think global, eat local

The film, which was funded by a National Lottery Awards for All grant, stars local children from Oak Field Primary School, Ysgol Gymraeg Gwaun Y Nant and Pencoedtre High School, all urging us to eat seasonal food produced locally, reduce food waste and get involved in local food projects. As stated at the start of the film, “There’s a good food movement happening across the Vale, and we want you to be a part of it!“
