NFU Cymru have announced the launch of their Sustainable Agriculture Award in collaboration with Wynnstay, the sponsors of the award. This is the fifth year of the award with the aim of celebrating and recognising what farmers in Wales do to ensure the economic, environmental, social and cultural well-being of Wales. The award will be awarded to a farm or farmer who can demonstrate:
- That they are committed to the production of high-quality food to world class standards.
- A positive contribution to their farmed environment.
- Their involvement and contribution to the rural economy, rural community and Welsh culture.
In a statement NFU Cymru Rural Affairs Board Chairman Hedd Pugh said:
“Welsh farmers make an unparalleled contribution to the economic, environmental, social and cultural well-being of Wales. Alongside producing high quality food to world leading standards, farmers manage over 80% of the land area of Wales playing a crucial role protecting, maintaining and enhancing the farmed environment.
Welsh farmers are key drivers of our rural economy and are the very heart of our rural communities, the Welsh language and culture.
The NFU Cymru / Wynnstay Group PLC Sustainable Agriculture Award aims to recognise the economic, environment, social and cultural contribution of farming in Wales and will be awarded to the farmer judged to have achieved the most outstanding example of sustainable farming business in Wales.”
The winner will receive £500. The closing date for the competition is the 1st of September 2025. You can find more information about the award by following this link to NFU Cymru’s website.
