Food Policy, Devolution and Wales

Submission to the All Wales Convention

From the Welsh Food Alliance
Who we are?
WFA members have been active in championing devolved government in Wales from 1978.The Welsh Food Alliance (WFA) was formed in March 1999 to support the process of devolution and citizen engagement in the development of food policy across all aspects of government. It is self-financed by its volunteers. During this period we have responded to over 150 consultations, organised many free public consultations, including five Welsh Youth Food Assemblies at the National Assembly building and a hustings for political parties on food issues prior to each Welsh General Election. We have also undertaken three older people's food surveys involving over 800 people from the comfort of their own homes. Part 2 of our current UK survey  underlines the need to engage with citizens, the private sector, non-devolved public and professional bodies across the UK in addressing growing malnutrition in an ageing society.
