Mixed farming – histories and futures

Mixed farming – growing crops as well as raising livestock – was much more common in the Dyfi Biosphere, and in Wales in general, in the past. The aim is to build on the past, but look to the future, and help make the case for more widespread sustainable mixed agriculture and more resilient local food production economies. Central to the project’s vision is the recognition that small family farms are the cornerstone of Wales’ past, current and future rural economy, culture and landscape.
