A new five-year strategy has been unveiled to create a new food system for the Vale of Glamorgan.
The Food Vale partnernship recently won an award for its work in promoting sustainability.
Now, the group, which was set up in 2017 wants to increase access to healthy food in the county, while reducing waste and tackling climate change.
The new strategy, which runs until 2030, is backed by Cardiff and Vale health board officials, along with Vale of Glamorgan Council, Natural Resources Wales, FareShare Cymru and Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS).
Louise Denham, Food Vale co-ordinator, said: "Everyone should be able to access and enjoy nourishing food that supports their wellbeing."
"We want a circular food system that reduces waste, that protects nature, and that responds to the climate emergency. Our communities should have the tools, skills and spaces to grow, cook, and share good food."
"Through this strategy, we want to strengthen community leadership and ensure local people have a real voice in shaping their local food system."
"That involves listening to people’s experiences, increasing support for sustainable local producers and food enterprises and creating opportunities so that we can all prioritise food that is good for people and planet."
Food Vale was designed to tackle significant social challenges including food povery and diet-related ill health, as well as the problems facing food producers and businesses locally.
The partnership is actively inolved in a range of projects aimed at help communities to grow, cook and share food across the county and seeks out funding to realise its aims.
They're also behind the annual Vale Food Trail, which is set to return next year, as well as a local directory of food and drink producers.
