Clarkson blasts ‘mad’ school dinners as Welsh kids fed chicken from China and Thailand
The former Top Gear host — now better known to many as a working farmer thanks to his hit Amazon series Clarkson’s Farm — has waded into the controversy after it emerged children across Wales are being served chicken from countries including China, Thailand and Brazil.
And he’s speaking from experience.
Since taking over Diddly Squat Farm, Clarkson has repeatedly highlighted the financial pressures, regulations and challenges facing British farmers — something he says makes the school meals situation even harder to understand.

As previously revealed by Swansea Bay News, the situation in south west Wales has left many readers stunned.
In Swansea itself, just 2.33% of the chicken used in school meals comes from the UK, with the vast majority imported — including a significant proportion from outside Europe altogether.
Elsewhere in the region, the picture is no clearer. Carmarthenshire Council admitted using chicken from outside the EU to cater for halal dietary requests but declined to say where it came from, while Pembrokeshire also refused to provide detailed figures. Neath Port Talbot did not respond to requests for information.
Across Wales, the figures become even more stark. In Merthyr Tydfil, almost all school chicken — more than 99% — is imported, while in Gwynedd the vast majority is sourced from countries including Brazil, Thailand and China.
Perhaps most striking of all, not a single council in Wales was able to confirm how much of the chicken served to children is actually Welsh.

Writing in a national newspaper column, Clarkson said the situation left him completely baffled.
“How is it possible to ship a chicken all the way from Chiang Mai to Bridgend and for it to arrive with a lower price tag than a chicken reared two miles down the road?”
He blamed government policy for creating what he sees as a deeply unfair system — something he says he’s experienced first-hand.
“It’s the government that imposes unbelievably strict and expensive standards on British farmers — and then allows imports that don’t follow anything like the same rules.”
Clarkson said those rules — while often well-intentioned — can leave UK farmers struggling to compete.

‘British farmers being priced out’
Drawing on his own experience running a farm, Clarkson warned that UK agriculture is being squeezed from all sides.
He pointed to bans on certain pesticides and stricter welfare rules in Britain compared to other countries — arguing that while they may protect the environment and animals, they also drive up costs.
“We do the right thing here… and then import food from places that don’t.”
He said the result is a system where British farmers are effectively being undercut in their own market.
“British farmers are being priced… into the bankruptcy court.”
A system “no one can fix”?
Clarkson also suggested the problem may be bigger than government alone, pointing to global trade rules that limit what the UK can do about imports.
“On the face of it, there’s not a damn thing we can do about it.”
But he did offer one solution — urging consumers and organisations to pay closer attention to where food comes from.
Campaigners are angry that Chicken imported from thousands of miles away are beiung used for school dinners – rather than locally bred animals“If there’s a little red tractor, it means the food you’re buying was grown here in the UK.”
Parents and farmers hit out
The revelations have sparked a wave of frustration across Wales, particularly among farming families who feel they are being undercut in their own communities.
Many parents have also been left questioning what exactly is ending up on their children’s plates, and why food is being shipped thousands of miles when high-quality produce is available locally.
Critics say the situation simply doesn’t add up in a country with such strong agricultural roots, while campaigners warn it risks undermining both environmental goals and confidence in the food system.
Pressure mounting in Wales
The growing backlash is now turning the issue into a wider political and public debate.
Campaigners are calling for councils to be far more open about where school food comes from, while also pushing for changes that would allow more Welsh produce to be used in public sector meals.
There is also increasing pressure to reduce reliance on imported meat altogether, particularly at a time when local farmers are facing rising costs and uncertainty.
A row far from over
With a high-profile voice like Clarkson — and his very public farming struggles — now adding fuel to the fire, the debate over school meals in Wales shows no sign of slowing down.
And for many, the question remains:
Why are Welsh children eating imported chicken… when it could be produced on their own doorstep?

City leaders get hands-on in Gower to back ‘farm to fork’ food revolution
Members of the Swansea Public Services Board (PSB) made the trip to the great outdoors this week to visit Cae Tan Community Supported Agriculture, a working farm dedicated to sustainable growing.
The high-level delegation included representatives from Swansea Council, the Swansea Bay University Health Board, and Natural Resources Wales, all keen to support locally grown produce.
According to organisers, the visit showcased how seasonal vegetables are being supplied directly to Swansea households, bypassing traditional supermarket chains.
Members of the Swansea Public Services Board and Bwyd Abertawe partners during their visit to Cae Tan in Gower.The event was co-ordinated by Bwyd Abertawe Food—Swansea’s Local Food Partnership—alongside teams dedicated to promoting healthy weight and nutritious diets across the region.
The group has confirmed that plans are now underway to develop a dedicated local food strategy for Swansea to ensure more families can access sustainable produce.
Dawn Lyle, Chair of Bwyd Abertawe Food, has said that “real momentum” is building around strengthening the food system in the city and surrounding areas.
Discussions focused on how to build a more resilient and sustainable food future for the Swansea Bay region.“This gathering at Cae Tan gave us a valuable opportunity to hear directly about the realities faced by growers and farmers,” she confirmed following the visit.
The leaders also discussed how public sector organisations can use their massive buying power to put more Gower-grown food into schools and hospitals.
Grower Eva Walter-Jones, who welcomed the partners onto the land, has outlined exciting plans to expand vegetable supplies to local schools through the ‘Welsh Veg in Schools’ initiative.
“It was very positive to see so much joined-up thinking and an appetite to do more,” Eva has said, adding that the collaboration gives “a lot of hope” for the future.
Cllr Andrea Williams, Joint Deputy Leader of Swansea Council, has confirmed the authority’s commitment to the project, stating: “We must think differently about how we grow, buy and serve food.”

#Massachusetts - #GrowFood #Northampton raises more than $1M for #AtRrisk communities
Namu Sampath, Thu, July 24, 2025
NORTHAMPTON — "#GrowFoodNorthampton is growing.
"The local food and #farming justice group has raised over $1 million for an effort to increase support for vulnerable community members, it said in a statement.
"The money will go toward providing more #FreshFoods to families experiencing hunger, will establish #CommunityGardens at #LowIncome housing sites, will support #LocalFarms and #gardeners, and will go toward implementation of #ClimateResilience measures.
" 'All of these efforts are critical right now due to drastic #FederalCuts to local food and farming programs, the ongoing #ClimateCrisis, and ever-growing #inequities in the local food system and beyond,' the statement said.
"The fundraising effort began late last year. There was an 'outpouring of support,' and the financial goal was met ahead of schedule, the group said.
"The organization will still accept donations through the rest of the summer, and supporters can opt to add their names to a campaign contributors list, which will be installed at the Community Garden in Florence.
"The organization also said it would accept non-monetary support from the community.
" 'Community members are invited to attend summer events, share the campaign with friends and family, and volunteer their time,' the statement said."

#Georgia [USA] - ‘Without Walls’ Farmers Market makes debut in #GardenCityGA
By Brontë Sorotsky
Published: Jul. 26, 2025GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - "A new initiative to help #LowerIncome families buy #HealthyFood and make smart choices kicked off Saturday in Garden City.
" '#FeedTheHungry' is meeting people where they’re at to make the community as a whole healthier.
"From #okra to #nectarines, a new farmer’s market in Garden City has no shortage of healthy options. The idea for this farmer’s market came from a lack of resources when it comes to fresh foods.
" 'Trying to address #FoodDeserts in this community. And what does a #FoodDesert mean? That means limited access to fresh food,' said Charice Stroud, a volunteer with Feed the Hungry.
"Stroud is working alongside state representative Carl Gilliard to increase that access with the start of the first '#WithoutWalls' #FarmersMarket.
"On Saturday, this new farmer market kicked off with #pickling demonstrations, fresh juice making, farmer’s selling #LocalProduce, and more.
" 'It builds a healthier community, right? That’s our overall goal,' Stroud explained.
"Feed the hungry is partnering with #AgraUnity, a coalition of #BlackFarmers that focuses on supplying the food deserts In #WestChathamCounty.
"Those local farmers will be selling their products, allowing people in the community to access farm to table food at a more affordable price.
" 'We want to empower people. And a part of that is your health, what you’re consuming each and every day. So, you can come in and get some good ideas for what to bring back to your home and your family,' Stroud said.
"The 'Without Walls' Farmers Market will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4704 Augusta Road in Garden City."

Eggs for Sale
A visit to the market in Skibbereen in 2019 was productive. I’ve posted a number of photos from that hour or so on here over the years, and there are still a few more to go.
August 2019 feels like a lifetime ago.

Fresh Fruits and Fortune
I went out one morning to photograph Palafrugell, walking around the town, exploring the streets. It’s a small town with narrow road and tall buildings, with a few public squares dotted around. Near one is a vegetable market where I spotted a man buying a lottery card.
The ONCE lottery, seen in the photo, is unique in Spain for being operated by the Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles, an organisation founded in 1938 to support the blind and visually impaired. Many of the lottery vendors, like the one pictured, are themselves visually impaired, making each ticket sale a contribution to social inclusion and support for people with disabilities.
