Project Overview Future Farms in Business is the third phase of funded activity carried out by the emerging Future Farms Partnership. It focuses on implementing a planning application for three dwellings on farm estate owned by Powys County Council, and recruiting growers to take on the dwellings and accompanying new horticultural enterprises. The project will also support the Partnership to increase local networking between growers and their potential market, as well as advocating for more small-scale nature friendly horticulture enterprises in Wales. The Partnership includes representatives from: Social Farms & Gardens Our Food 1200 Landworkers’ Alliance Ecological Land Cooperative Shared Assets Black Mountains College Gwlad Consortium Cultivate – North and South Powys Sustainable Food Places Partnerships Lantra Powys County Council Eco Dyfi – Pathways to Farming Nature Friendly Farming Network Phase 1 A market feasibility study for micro-holdings to support a horticulture enterprise with a dwelling in Powys as part of a small collection of neighbouring enterprises. Phase 2 Development of Supplementary Planning Guidance for Powys County Council interpreting the existing Technical Advice Note (TAN) 6 and submission of a planning application for the building of three temporary dwellings on a site in the village of Sarn, Newtown, linked to viable horticulture businesses on the site (each around 5 acres). Phase 3 (the focus of this evaluation) The activity is split into four workstreams Grower Journey: Seeking expressions of interest from potential growers to live and work on the site, selecting growers, training opportunities (potential and delivered). Site Development: Subject to planning approval, undertake first stages of the build (utility connections/ alternative provision, access, hard standings, packing shed). Messaging & Replication: This project is a practical example of one way in which we can increase the opportunity for rural enterprise for local people through increasing the demand and supply of fruit and vegetables needed to meet our nation’s dietary needs. Network Building: New growers will be supported by a wider network of growers, we will work with potential customers (including public sector) to help drive demand for new produce. Next Proposed Phases Further infrastructure development on the site in Sarn to meet the needs of the micro enterprises. Reflection, refinement and replication of the model elsewhere in Wales. Ongoing support to develop the market for local fruit and vegetables across Wales. Support to upskill existing and new growers with a particular focus on agroecology. Evaluation Requirements Evaluation will be focused on capturing learning from this pilot to influence future activity and strategies that challenge the existing structures inhibiting access to land for agroecological food production. The final evaluation report will be required to capture the opportunities, challenges, successes and learning points for: Local Authorities wishing to maximise the potential of their land assets Those seeking to open up access to land for agroecological, regenerative food production for local markets. Landworkers and land-seekers Other landowners – public and private. The evaluation report will be shared widely and must be an accessible document that brings the pilot to life and with the intention that the pilot’s recommendations can, and will, be implemented elsewhere in Wales. Requirements: Evaluation will be embedded into the project activity from the outset (once evaluators appointed). Evaluators will work closely with the Partnership and Workstream groups and provide advice and guidance to make data collection simple and consistent. Data collection will focus on qualitative data (e.g., interviews, consultation extracts) although some quantitative data may be included (e.g., no of officers; no of consultations).
