Mae ffermwyr organig yng Nghymru yn derbyn enillion tebyg i ffermwyr confensiynol ar sail kg o gig neu litr o laeth, er gwaethaf cynnyrch is. Gweler datganiad i'r wasg.

Arolwg o gynhyrchwyr organig

Mae canlyniadau arolwg 2007 yn awr ar gael. Maent yn dangos bod y tir dan reolaeth organig yng Nghymru wedi cynyddu 15% yn 2007 ac yn cynrychioli 90,000 hectar ar 800 o ddaliadau, neu 6.3% o dir amaethyddol Cymru. Gyda rhagor na 300 o ffermwyr wedi gwneud cais i ymuno â’r Cynllun Ffermio Organig eleni, gallai ffermio organig dyfu i ffurfio 8-10% o amaethyddiaeth Gymreig. Bydd hyn y creu cyfleoedd newydd ar gyfer y sector organig, ond yn gofyn am gynllunio gofalus. Gweler y datganiad i’r wasg a lawrlwythwch yr adroddiad.

Dysgu ar hyd y gadwyn fwyd

Lansiodd Elin Jones, y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig, y DVD newydd ar gyfer ysgolion yn fferm organig Blaencamel yng Ngheredigion fis diwethaf. Gweler yr adroddiad a’r datganiad i’r wasg.

Sefydliad newydd

Fis diwethaf, cyfunwyd Sefydliad Ymchwil Tir Glas a’r Amgylchedd (IGER) a Sefydliad y Gwyddorau Gwledig ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth (sef dau o’r partneriaid yng Nghanolfan Organig Cymru) gyda Sefydliad y Gwyddorau Biolegol i ffurfio sefydliad newydd, sef Sefydliad y Gwyddorau Biolegol, Amgylcheddol a Gwledig (IBERS). Felly, y mae staff IGER gynt yn awr yn aelodau o staff y brifysgol. www.aber.ac.uk/cy/ibers/

Organic Wales

Organic production costs

Welsh organic farmers are getting similar returns per kg of meat and litre of milk to conventional farmers, despite lower yields, according to the latest benchmarking data. See press release.

Organic producer survey

The results of the 2007 survey are now available. They show that the area of land under organic management in Wales increased by 15% in 2007 and now amounts to 90,000 ha on 800 holdings, or 6.3% of Welsh agricultural area. With more than 300 farmers having applied to join the new Organic Farming Scheme this year, organic farming could grow to 8-10% of Welsh agriculture. This will create new opportunities for the organic sector, but will require careful planning. See press release and download report.

Learning along the food chain

Rural Affairs Minister Elin Jones launched the new DVD for schools at Blaencamel organic farm in Ceredigion last month. See report and press release.

New institute

IGER and the Institute of Rural Sciences at Aberystwyth University, two of the partners in Organic Centre Wales, last month merged with the Institute of Biological Sciences to form the new Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS). Former IGER staff are therefore now staff of the university. www.aber.ac.uk/en/ibers/

Ffermio

Yn ôl i'r brig

Cynllun Ffermio Organig

Dylai pob ffermwr sydd am fynd mewn i'r CFfO neu sydd ynddo yn barod hawlio eu harian ar Ffurflen y Taliad Sengl. Dylai ffermwyr a aeth yn organig cyn 15 Mai 2007 ddangos tystysgrifau organig a rhestr caeau gyda'u ceisiadau. Rhowch rhifau'r caeau hefyd. Gweler y ffeithlen ddiweddaraf.

Dylech nodi bod y rheolau ar dir comin a'r CFfO wedi newid. Gweler y ffeithlen a chysylltwch â'ch Swyddfa Ranbarthol.

Dylau pob ffermwr a ymgeisiodd i'r CFfO ers mis Tachwedd diwethaf fod wedi derbyn llythyr gan y Cynulliad erbyn hyn. Os ddim, cysylltwch â'ch Swyddfa Ranbarthol i sicrhau eu bod wedi derbyn eich ffurflen gais.

Llawlyfr technegol ar arddwriaeth

Bydd llyfryn newydd ar gyfer ffermwyr sy’n ystyried arallgyfeirio trwy droi at gynhyrchu ffrwythau a llysiau yn cael ei lansio yn ‘Peepout Farm’, Hwlffordd ar 15 Mai (gweler yr adran ‘digwyddiadau’ isod). Bydd y llyfryn ar gael yn www.organic.aber.ac.uk ar ôl y dyddiad hwnnw.

Costau cynhyrchu

Mae ffeithlen newydd ar feincnodi ar gyfer cynhyrchwyr cig eidion, cig oen a llaeth yn awr ar gael gan Ganolfan Organig Cymru. Mae’n dangos bod yr elw net a wneir am bob litr gan gynhyrchwyr llaeth organig yn uwch na’r elw net a wnaed gan ffermwyr confensiynol yn ystod 2005/6 a 2006/7 – a hynny er gwaetha’r ffaith mai dim ond 22.8c y litr oedd y pris organig yn 2006/7. Lawrlwytho’r ffeithlen.

OF&G yn symud swyddfeydd

Symudodd y corff ardystio, Organic Farmers and Growers, i swyddfeydd newydd ar 1 Mai. Manylion.

Triogl - eglurhad

Yr oedd ein bwletin ym mis Mawrth yn cynnwys eitem ar safonau bwyd organig a oedd yn nodi bod blociau bwyd a ddefnyddid ar gyfer da organig yn gorfod cynnwys triogl organig oddi ar 1 Ionawr 2008. Mae’n debyg bod hyn wedi peri cryn ddryswch. Sylwer nad yw hyn yn berthnasol i flociau mwnol ac y gellir defnyddio rhai mathau o driogl nad sy’n organig yn y cynhyrchion hyn.

Gwobr foesegol

Mae Martin Peck, sy’n ffermwyr organig yng Nghroesoswallt, wedi ei roi ar restr fer ar gyfer gwobrau moesegol yr Observer, a hynny am ei waith adeiladu ‘gwyrdd’. Yn y gystadleuaeth hon, sy’n cael ei chynnal am y drydedd tro ac a noddir gan Ecover, bydd y dyfarniad terfynol yn dibynnu ar bleidleisiau darllenwyr ac ar farn panel o enwogion. Bydd enwau’r enillwyr yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn Llundain ar 5 Mehefin. Observer

Farming

Organic Farming Scheme

All farmers either entering the OFS or already in the OFS must make their claim on their SAF. Farmers that converted before 15 May 2007 should supply both years’ organic certificates and field schedules with their claim. Insert the field numbers on your organic field schedule. See our latest factsheet.

Note there has been a change to the rules on common land and the OFS. See the factsheet and contact your Division Office for more information. All farmers that applied to join the OFS since last November should have received an OFS offer letter from the WAG by now. If you have not, contact your Divisional Office to ensure they received your application form.

Horticulture technical guide

A new booklet for farmers considering diversifying into fruit and vegetable production is to be launched at Peepout Farm, Haverfordwest, on 15 May (see events). The guide will be available at www.organic.aber.ac.uk from that date.

Costs of production

A new factsheet on benchmarking for beef and sheep and dairy producers is now available from OCW. It shows organic dairy producers gaining higher net margins per litre than conventional farmers during 2005/6 and 2006/7 despite the organic price per litre only being 22.8p in 2006/7. Download factsheet

OF&G move offices

The certification body Organic Farmers and Growers moved to new offices on 1 May. Details.

Molasses - a clarification

Our March bulletin featured an item on organic feed standards which stated ‘since 1 January 2008 feed blocks provided for the use of organic livestock must contain organic molasses’, which seems to have led to some confusion. Please note that this does not apply to mineral blocks, and some non organic molasses can be used in these products.

Ethical award

Martin Peck, organic farmer in Oswestry has been shortlisted for the third Observer ethical awards, for his green building work. The awards, supported by Ecover, were judged by a combination of reader votes and by a celebrity panel. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on June 5. Observer

Grŵp rhyngwladol yn cefnogi ffermio mewnbwn-isel

Mae adroddiad gan yr International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), sydd wedi cael sylw helaeth yn y wasg ac a gymeradwywyd gan 54 o lywodraethau, yn galw am newidiadau sylfaenol mewn ffermio. Mewn astudiaeth pedair blynedd a gyflawnwyd gan 400 o wyddonwyr o bob cwr o’r byd, ceisiwyd datblygu ffordd newydd o fynd ati i gynhyrchu bwyd ar draws y byd. Mae’r adroddiad yn rhybuddio rhag defnyddio cnydau GM a chnydau biodanwydd, ac yn pwysleisio bod ffermio ar raddfa fechan a defnyddio dulliau amaeth-ecolegol yn well ffordd o ymateb i brisiau bwyd uchel, newyn, anghydraddoldebau cymdeithasol a thrychinebau amgylcheddol. Organic Inform

Nwyon Tŷ Gwydr

Dengys adroddiad gan Ganolfan Masnach Ryngwladol y Cenhedloedd Unedig fod gan ffermio organig y gallu i leihau allyriannau nwy tŷ gwydr, gyda phum prif fantais: defnyddio llai o danwydd i gynhyrchu, gwell atafaeliad carbon yn y pridd, dargadw dŵr yn well mewn pridd, chwarae rhan mewn systemau agro-goedwigaeth, a gwell gallu i addasu i newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae’r adroddiad hefyd yn nodi gwendidau ffermio organig ac yn galw am ragor o ymchwil. Organic Inform.

Research

International group backs low-input farming

A report from the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD), widely reported in the media and approved by 54 governments, calls for a fundamental change to farming. A four year study, involving 400 scientists from around the world, aimed to develop a new approach to world food production. Warning against GM crops and biofuel crops, the key message of the report is that small-scale farming and agro-ecological methods are a better resonse to soaring food prices, hunger, social inequities and environmental disasters. Organic Inform

Greenhouse gases

A report from the UN's International Trade Centre finds that organic farming has potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with five main benefits: less fuel used in production, better soil carbon sequestration, better soil water retention, role in agroforestry systems and higher capacity to adapt to climate change. It also identifies weaknesses of organic farming and calls for more research. Organic Inform.
