Wales's Secret Ingredient: Lessons from Cymru on the Future of Food
Guests Beca Lyne-Pirkis, Patrick Holden, Carwyn Graves and Sue Pritchard join Sheila Dillon at Abergavenny Food Festival.
Sheila Dillon is joined by four guests who each have a deep connection with Welsh food and farming for a panel discussion recorded at the 2025 Abergavenny Food Festival. Beca Lyne-Pirkis is a food writer and broadcaster; Patrick Holden is an organic farmer and founder of the Sustainable Food Trust; Carwyn Graves is a Welsh food historian and author; and Sue Pritchard leads the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. Together, they explore what is currently making Wales’s approach to food distinctive — and what lessons it might offer for the future of food across the UK.
