Cook 24
Is the pilot cooking project that inspired the creation of Cegin y Pobl – The People’s Kitchen– an enterprise that hopes to kickstart a revolution by connecting people to food through cooking.
The Sustainable Food Cymru (SFC) project brings academics and societal partners from across Wales to stir up thinking about food and contribute meaningfully to holistic food system change as a route to NetZero in Wales.
Sustainable Food Cymru was established to develop and inspire transdisciplinary research with a specific focus on Welsh food sovereignty and food as a mechanism of adaptation for a local, flourishing future globally.
With the support of the Wales Innovation Network, SFC has held two workshops with societal partners from the length and breadth of Wales.
The first of the project’s events was an online webinar where the food writer, Simon Wright provided an outline of the current food crisis and the instability of supply chains. The second transdisciplinary workshop showcased local initiatives, methods and approaches in a lively two day in-person event on the Lampeter Campus of UWTSD. The workshop asked the questions, ‘How did we get here?’ and ‘What do we want Wales look like in 30 years?’ to stimulate discussion of how to create a food system that people can afford and that cares for bodies and the environment.

Published in May 2025 by the United Nations Youth Office, the St. Gallen Symposium, and The Club of Rome, this report makes a compelling case for a fundamental shift in how power and wisdom are distributed within organisations. It argues that involving younger generations meaningfully in decision-making across all levels of an organisation creates forward-thinking institutions that are more responsive to the complex challenges facing the world today, while also ensuring long-term sustainability.
In an era of rapid change, growing inequalities, and complex global challenges, collaboration between science, policy, and society, rooted in a deep understanding of the plurality of human experiences, is becoming increasingly crucial. In this context, UNESCO-MOST BRIDGES serves as a dedicated coalition committed to revolutionising how knowledge is mobilised for inclusive social development and planetary wellbeing. For organisations committed to equity, innovation, and impact, joining the BRIDGES Coalition is a meaningful move.

It’s a blustery Thursday late afternoon when we arrive at the West Pier of Dún Laoghaire Harbour. The wind cuts sharply across the quay, and low, heavy clouds threaten rain at any moment. We glance at each other more than once, wondering whether Ed—the man behind Goat Boat Tours—might call it off. To be fair, we wouldn’t blame him.
