Exploring Community Access to Farms and Land
This series of case studies focus on access to land for sustainable farming in Wales. Learn how new entrants and local communities interested in agroecological farming are tackling the challenges and opportunities of access to land.
Exploring Community Access to Farms and Land was part of the Resilient Green Spaces project and was led by our partners Landworkers' Alliance and Shared Assets. The Resilient Green Spaces project enabled communities to pilot localised food systems in Wales from 2021-2023.
Ecological Land Cooperative case study
Maesgwyn Isaf Farm was donated to the Ecological Land Cooperative (ELC) by a couple who owned the land. Since its donation, it's now been brought into community ownership. Through ELC stewardship it is hoped the farm will provide a home and livelihood for many new entrants to farming as well as a resource for the local community long into the future.

Archwilio Mynediad Cymunedol i Ffermydd a Tir
Mae'r gyfres hon o astudiaethau achos yn canolbwyntio ar fynediad i dir ar gyfer ffermio cynaliadwy yng Nghymru. Dysgwch sut mae newydd-ddyfodiaid a chymunedau lleol sydd â diddordeb mewn ffermio agroecolegol yn mynd i'r afael â'r heriau a'r cyfleoedd o gael mynediad i dir.
Roedd Archwilio Mynediad Cymunedol i Ffermydd a Thir yn rhan o'r prosiect Mannau Gwyrdd Gwydn ac fe'i harweiniwyd gan ein partneriaid Cynghrair y Gweithwyr Tir ac Asedau a Rennir. Roedd y prosiect Mannau Gwyrdd Gwydn yn galluogi cymunedau i dreialu systemau bwyd lleol yng Nghymru rhwng 2021 a 2023.
Astudiaeth achos Ecological Land Cooperative
Rhoddwyd Fferm Maesgwyn Isaf i'r Ecological Land Cooperative (ELC) gan gwpl oedd yn berchen ar y tir. Ers ei roddi, mae bellach wedi'i ddwyn i berchnogaeth gymunedol. Trwy stiwardiaeth ELC y gobaith yw y bydd y fferm yn darparu cartref a bywoliaeth i lawer o newydd-ddyfodiaid i ffermio yn ogystal ag adnodd i'r gymuned leol ymhell i'r dyfodol.
