Torfaen Food Summit

Join Torfaen Council’s Food Team and partners for a full‑day summit bringing together colleagues from across Torfaen to explore how food initiatives are driving change in communities, schools, businesses and council services.

This event will spotlight the progress Torfaen has made as a food partnership — and set the direction for what comes next.

This summit is designed for council staff, senior officers and project stakeholders who are helping to shape Torfaen’s approach to food, wellbeing and resilience. The day will:

• Showcase the impact of food partnership working across Torfaen
• Shift the narrative beyond ‘food poverty’ towards place‑based food resilience and community strength
