Thanks to the generosity of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society, over an acre of land has been gifted to the local community to grow their own fruit and vegetables, enabling some 40 Pembrokeshire residents from across all generations to tend to their own piece of land. The project has been spearheaded by Grŵp Resilience, a community-led operation, which aims to foster self-reliance and community spirit by working with individuals, Government organisations and businesses to promote a more sustainable way of life. Grŵp Resilience have been a huge benefit to west Wales, through both the development of over 25 community growing spaces or enhancing our understanding of greener, cleaner and self-sufficient communities. Given their success, First Minister, what steps is the Welsh Government taking to emulate their community model across all of Wales?
