Revamping the council farm estate for the 21st century: lessons from Bremenda Isaf

Alex Heffron presents “Revamping the council farm estate for the 21st century: lessons from Bremenda Isaf in Carmarthenshire, Wales” at the 2025 Scotland’s Land Reform Futures International Symposium. He describes a Welsh council farm that links food production, community wellbeing, and sustainability discusses how council farms could serve as an alternative entry point for land access by underrepresented groups. This talk is part of the panel “Achieving the public interest beyond landownership diversification” chaired by Jessica Lynch Boucher. Bio: Alex Heffron is a part-time farmer in the southwest of Wales and full-time PhD researcher at Lancaster University.
