We will be hosting three online talks over the next few months, based on themes of interest that have come up during discussions at our Community Assemblies on the Climate. The talks are open and anyone can attend. Translation services will be available.
Talk 1 – Community Food Growing
Our first talk (26.10.22 at 7.30pm) will focus on growing and selling food locally. We’ll hear from people who grow food in community farms and allotments across Gwynedd, with plenty of time to ask questions too.
Where do you start? How to grow? How to sell? How to run a cooperative enterprise? We’ll be joined by Tyddyn Teg, Henbant, Pandy, Trigonos and Brynrefail and Moelyci allotments with more to be announced.

Talk 2 – Community Energy
The second talk (30.11.22 at 7.30pm) will focus on community renewable energy initiatives, on all aspects from planning through to generation and the charities that distribute their profits.
We will learn about co-operatives, community share schemes, volunteering, licensing and all the necessary steps for planning, setting up and maintaining similar initiatives. Representatives of Ynni Ogwen, Ynni Padarn Peris, Cyd Ynni, Ynni Cymunedol Cymru and statutory agencies will be there to share their experiences and answer your questions.
