PROJECTS > NEATH PORT TALBOT FOOD PARTNERSHIP

The Neath Port Talbot Food Partnership is bringing together people, businesses and organisations with an interest in local food, to collaborate, connect and strengthen NPT’s food system and local food economy.

Together, we are working towards shared values and priorities, delivering projects that promote healthy, local and sustainable food. It’s about businesses, organisations and local residents, coming together to try and relocalise our food supply chain and support local small producers in the food system.

We would love to hear from anyone who is keen to be involved!

Is it local???
