Slow Food is committed to protecting traditional and sustainable quality foods, defending the biodiversity of cultivated and wild varieties as well as cultivation and processing methods. Through maintaining the diversity of regional food and agricultural traditions, the wisdom of local communities can be maintained to protect the ecosystems that surround them and offer sustainable prospects for the future. The Forgotten Foods has a British national commission that reviews nominations, consisting of exemplary individuals in the food world, who strongly embody the Slow Food ethos. Four British food talents are also involved in making sure the principles of the Ark are respected: Richard Corrigan of the much respected Bentley’s and Corrigan’s Mayfair restaurants; Neal’s Yard Dairy founder Randolph Hodgson; food & drink journalists Matthew Fort and Charles Campion. Slow Food UK launched the Forgotten Foods in the UK to spread the “Forgotten Foods” message to a wider audience and make artisan produce more widely assessable. Slow Food UK has joined forces with Booths Supermarkets to preserve and return forgotten specialities to their rightful place: on the shelves.

    A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock Richard Yarwood* and Nick Evans+ * School of Geography, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA. [email protected] 01752 233083 + Centre for Rural Research Department of Applied Sciences, Geography and Archaeology, University College Worcester, Henwick Grove, Worcester, WR2 6AJ. 01905 855197 [email protected] Abstract This paper uses Bourdieu’s (1977) concept of habitus to examine human-animal relationships within capitalist agricultural systems. The first part of the paper examines how Bourdieu’s ideas have been used by academics to provide insights into the ways that livestock affect and are affected by farming practice. The second part builds on these conceptual, empirical and policy insights by examining some of the national and international social networks that contribute to human-animal relationships in capitalistic farming. It focuses on a case study of Welsh livestock and, in particular, the historic and contemporary roles that breed societies play in the imagination of farm animals and the creation of capitals in agriculture. 1 A Lleyn Sweep for Local Sheep? Breed Societies and the Geographies of Welsh Livestock ‘The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter; And so we deemed it meeter To take away the latter.’ „The War-Song of the Dinas Vawr‟ Thomas Love Peacock (1829) Introduction The relationships between animals, locality and society have come under increased scrutiny by geographers (Philo, 1995; Wolch and Emel, 1995; Wolch, 1998; Philo and Wilbert, 2000). An emerging body of literature is critically reappraising the place of animals within capitalist agricultural systems, reflecting the three main trajectories of animal geography (Whatmore, 2000).

  • An Introduction to Keeping Pigs
    AN CALU FACTSHEET INTRODUCTION June 2010 Ref:040902 TO PIG KEEPING INTRODUCTION UK commercial pig production is based on large herds with around 80% kept in herds of over 1,000 head. The UK breeding herd has contracted over the years to around 300,000 sows. In Wales, pig meat production has never been a major agricultural output and there are relatively few specialist herds in Wales compared to the rest of the UK. In the 10 years up to 2009, the recorded number of breeding sows In Wales dropped from 10,800 to 3,700. The Welsh pig herd of around 20,000 pigs now represents around 0.5% of the UK pig population. There is, however, a resurgence of interest in keeping pigs not only from small-holders and part time farmers but also to fill the usually profitable niche markets demanding specialist pig meat products from older and rare breeds reared less intensively. LEGISLATION Whether you wish to keep a commercial herd or even one pig as a pet you still need to be registered. The details are well covered in the publication - ‘Guide for New Pig keepers’. (Details are given in ‘further information’). This covers registering, movement, record keeping, identification, feed advice and notifiable diseases along with some useful contacts and website links that explain about registering and movement licences INFORMATION AND TRAINING At least a basic knowledge of pig husbandry and welfare should be gained before venturing into pig keeping. There’s plenty of information available from books and the internet, but getting some ‘hands on’ experience is invaluable.
