Proposals by the Welsh Assembly Government will effectively ban genetically modified crops from Wales. New regulations, if adopted, will set Wales apart from England in applying a strict “polluter pays” principle that will put an end even to trial plantings. Western Mail

Digwyddiadau Canolfan Organig Cymru

Bydd sesiwn ar gyfleoedd mewn garddwriaeth organig yn cael ei gynnal yn y prynhawn yn ‘Peepout Farm’, Sir Benfro, ym mis Mai (gweler Digwyddiadau). Mae’r galw am gynnyrch garddwriaethol organig Cymreig yn parhau i fod yn gryf tra bo’r sylfaen cyflenwi yng Nghymru yn dal i fod yn fach. Mae’r sesiwn hwn yn archwilio’r cyfleoedd sylweddol sy’n bodoli ar gyfer cynhyrchwyr ffrwythau a llysiau organig, ac yn edrych yn realistig ar y sialensiau a’r peryglon sydd ynghlwm wrthynt. Y mae wedi ei anelu at dyfwyr organig sy’n dymuno ehangu, tyfwyr organig sy’n ystyried trawsnewid organig, a ffermwyr da byw (confensiynol ac organig) sy’n ystyried arallgyfeirio trwy droi at arddwriaeth.

Gwefan Cynghrair y Tyfwyr Organig

Mae gan y Gynghrair wefan newydd yn www.newoga.org.uk. Mae gan y gymdeithas, sy’n flwydd oed, 120 o aelodau ac y mae’n cynhyrchu cylchgrawn chwarterol ,sef The Organic Grower. Y mae hefyd yn trefnu digwyddiadau.

Fferm Cwmrath

Yn y Western Mail, ceir hanes Phil a Hilary Rogers o ‘Cwmrath Farm’ yn Summerhill, ger Amroth. Yn denantiaid yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol, troesant at ffermio organig yn 2001 ac aethant ati i sefydlu Pembrokeshire Coast Organic Meat yn 2006. Stori Yn ddiweddar, defnyddiasant grant Rhaglen Adwerthu Gwledig Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru i droi hen feudy yn siop y fferm a’r pentref. Ymwelodd Elin Jones â’r siop hon yn ddiweddar.

Really Welsh

Mae’r Really Welsh Trading Company yn Sir Forgannwg yn tyfu cennin pedr a llysiau yn gonfensiynol, ond y maent hefyd yn gwerthu cynnyrch organig sy’n cynnwys moron a madarch shiitake. Gweler Farmers Guardian.

Mae Warwick HRI wedi cynhyrchu adroddiad sy’n dwyn y teitl “Direct energy use in agriculture: opportunities for reducing fossil fuel inputs”. Dywed bod amaethyddiaeth yn gyfrifol am 0.8% o gyfanswm allyriannau carbon y DU, ac y mae’n gwneud argymhellion a fedrai leihau allyriannau o 15% erbyn 2015. Y mae hefyd yn galw am ddefnyddio mwy o ffynonellau ynni amgen. Organic Inform

OCW events

An afternoon session on opportunities in organic horticulture will be held at Peepout Farm, Pembrokeshire, in May (see Events). Demand for Welsh organic horticulture produce remains very strong while the supply base in Wales remains small. This event explores the considerable opportunities that exist for producers of organic fruit and veg while taking a realistic look at the challenges and risks involved. It is aimed at existing organic growers looking to expand, conventional growers considering organic conversion and livestock farmers (conventional and organic) considering diversification into horticultural production.

Organic Growers Alliance website

The OGA has a new website at www.newoga.org.uk. The organisation, which is a year old, has a membership of 120 and produces a quarterly journal The Organic Grower, as well as organizing events.

Cwmrath Farm

The Western Mail profiles Phil and Hilary Rogers of Cwmrath Farm at Summerhill, near Amroth. Tenants of the National Trust, they went organic in 2001 and set up Pembrokeshire Coast Organic Meat in 2006. They recently used a Welsh Assembly Government Rural Retail Programme grant to convert a cow shed into a farm shop and village stores, which was recently visited by Elin Jones.

Saving energy

Warwick HRI has produced a report titled “Direct energy use in agriculture: opportunities for reducing fossil fuel inputs”. It finds that agriculture is responsible for 0.8% of total UK carbon emissions, and makes recommendations that could reduce emissions by 15% by 2015. It also calls for the use of more alternative energy sources. Organic Inform

Cludiant awyr

Yn dilyn yr ymgynghoriad y llynedd, y mae’r Soil Association yn awgrym y gellir cludo cynnyrch organig mewn awyrennau o hyd, a hynny ar yr amod fod y cludiant hwnnw yn cwrdd â meini prawf masnach deg, bod busnesau yn monitro eu defnydd o gludiant awyr ar gyfer cynnyrch organig, a bod ganddynt gynllun ar gyfer lleihau faint o gynnyrch y maent yn ei gludo yn y fath fodd.

Air freight

Following last year's consultation, the Soil Association is suggesting that organic produce could still be air freighted, provided it met fair trade criteria, that businesses monitor the use of air freight for organic produce, and that they have a plan for reducing the amount they air freight. These proposals are now out for consultation until 30 May. Full details at: www.soilassociation.org/airfreight.

Llawlyfr diogelwch ac ansawdd bwyd organig

Golygwyd gan J Cooper, C Leifert, Prifysgol Newcastle, y DU ac U Niggli, FiBL, y Swistir.

Mae cynhyrchiant a gwerthiant bwyd organig wedi cynyddu’n sydyn dros y ddau ddegawd diwethaf, ond os yw hyder cwsmeriaid i barhau’n uchel, dylid eu sicrhau ynglŷn â diogelwch, ansawdd a manteision iechyd bwydydd organig. Fe fydd y llyfr 500 tudalen hwn, gyda 22 o benodau gan awduron o wahanol rannau o Ewrop a gogledd America, yn ganllaw awdurdodol ar gyfer bobl broffesiynol a chynhyrchwyr. Mae Rhan 1 yn darparu cyflwyniad i ansawdd a diogelwch sylfaenol gyda phenodau ar ffactorau sy’n cael effaith ar werth maeth bwyd, sicrwydd ansawdd a disgwyliadau cwsmeriaid. Mae Rhan 2 yn trafod materion sy’n ymwneud ag ansawdd a diogelwch elfennol mewn perthynas â chynhyrchiant porthiant organig ar gyfer da, gan gynnwys effeithiau patrymau bwydo a hwsmonaeth ar gynhyrchion llaeth, dofednod a phorc. Mae penodau eraill yn trafod dulliau o reoli a lleihau heintiadau a pharasitiaid mewn da byw. Mae Rhan 3 yn ymdrin â’r prif faterion sy’n ymwneud ag ansawdd a diogelwch mewn perthynas â chynhyrchiant bwydydd cnwd organig, megis y dulliau agronomegol a ddefnyddir i gynhyrchu cnydau a’u heffeithiau ar eu hansawdd o ran maeth, yn ogystal â’u heffeithiau posibl ar iechyd. Mae rhan olaf y llyfr yn canolbwyntio ar sicrhau ansawdd a diogelwch drwy’r gadwyn fwyd drwyddi draw, gan gynnwys strategaethau ôl-gynhaeaf i leihau halogiad, a materion moesegol megis masnach deg. Daw’r penodau olaf i ben drwy adolygu strategaethau sicrwydd ansawdd sy’n ymwneud â sectorau bwyd organig penodol. Manylion cyhoeddi

Handbook of organic food safety and quality

Edited by J Cooper, C Leifert, Newcastle University, UK and U Niggli, FiBL, Switzerland

Production and consumption of organic food has increased rapidly over the past two decades but if consumer confidence is to remain high, the safety, quality and health benefits of organic foods must be assured. This 500-page book, with 22 chapters by authors from around Europe and north America, will be an authoritative guide for professionals and producers.

Part 1 provides an introduction to basic quality and safety with chapters on factors affecting the nutritional quality of foods, quality assurance and consumer expectations. Part 2 discusses the primary quality and safety issues related to the production of organic livestock foods including the effects of feeding regimes and husbandry on dairy products, poultry and pork. Further chapters discuss methods to control and reduce infections and parasites in livestock. Part 3 covers the main quality and safety issues concerning the production of organic crop foods, such as agronomic methods used in crop production and their effects on nutritional and sensory quality, as well as their potential health impacts. The final part of the book focuses on assuring quality and safety throughout the food chain, including post-harvest strategies to reduce contamination, and ethical issues such as fair trade. The final chapters conclude by reviewing quality assurance strategies relating to specific organic food sectors.
