Bydd dathlu rôl ymchwil ar y fferm a gynhelir ledled Cymru i groesawu syniadau a chyfleoedd newydd dan sylw mewn digwyddiad allweddol yn y diwydiant ym mis Mai.
Bydd ffermwyr ac arbenigwyr diwydiant yn cwrdd yn Neuadd Gregynog, ger y Drenewydd ar 5 Mai i glywed gan y rhai sydd wedi bod yn rhan o raglen Prosiect Arloesi Ewrop (EIP) yng Nghymru dros y tair blynedd diwethaf, i archwilio a thrafod syniadau newydd a sut y gellir eu croesawu ar ffermydd Cymru.
Dywedodd Rheolwr EIP yng Nghymru, Owain Rowlands fod datblygu ffyrdd newydd o weithio yn bwysicach nawr nag erioed gyda phwysau yn ymwneud â chynyddu costau mewnbynnau, targedau sero-net a cholli bioamrywiaeth.
“Mae’r sector amaethyddol yn wynebu newidiadau a heriau cyson ond mae’n bwysig sylweddoli y gall y rhain ddod â chyfleoedd i ddatblygu syniadau a ffyrdd newydd o weithio,” meddai.
“Byddwn yn edrych yn ôl dros lwyddiant rhaglen EIP yng Nghymru a ariannodd 46 o brosiectau ar y fferm, gan weithio gyda dros 200 o ffermwyr ledled Cymru i ymchwilio i amrywiaeth o bynciau gwahanol gan gynnwys pridd a glaswelltir, iechyd anifeiliaid, bioamrywiaeth, ansawdd aer a dŵr, storio carbon a geneteg.”
Mae EIP yng Nghymru, meddai Mr Rowlands, wedi dangos pa mor bwysig yw hi i ffermwyr gydweithio’n agos ag eraill yn y sector amaethyddol.
“Mae ein digwyddiad yn gyfle i ddod at ein gilydd a chlywed straeon llwyddiant prosiectau,” ychwanegodd.
Bydd y diwrnod hefyd yn cynnwys trafodaethau panel rhyngweithiol ar arferion ffermio cynaliadwy, technolegau amaethyddol, iechyd a lles anifeiliaid a chynhyrchu garddwriaethol, dan arweiniad gwyddonwyr, milfeddygon, arbenigwyr a ffermwyr.
Bydd y rhai sy’n mynychu yn cael cyfle i lunio ymchwil yn y dyfodol drwy ddweud eu dweud ar sut ddylai’r ymchwil hwnnw edrych.
Mae siaradwyr eraill yn cynnwys y ffermwr o Bowys, Keri Davies, Fferm Glwydcaenewydd, sy’n treialu newidiadau mewn arferion amaethyddol gyda’r nod o wella effeithlonrwydd a gwydnwch ffermydd, a Tim Bennett, cadeirydd y Ganolfan Arloesedd a Rhagoriaeth mewn Da Byw (CIEL).
Bydd y digwyddiad yn rhedeg o 9:30-16:00

Embracing new ideas and opportunities on Welsh farms to be celebrated at industry event
Celebrating the role of on-farm research carried out across Wales to embrace new ideas and opportunities will be in the spotlight at a key industry event in May.
Farmers and industry experts will meet at Gregynog Hall, near Newtown on 5 May to hear from those who have been involved in the European Innovation Project (EIP) Wales programme over the last three years, to explore and discuss new ideas and how they can be embraced on Welsh farms.
EIP Wales Manager, Owain Rowlands said developing new ways of working is more important now than ever with pressures relating to increasing input costs, net-zero targets and biodiversity loss.
“The agricultural sector faces constant changes and challenges but it’s important to realise that these can bring opportunities to develop new ideas and ways of working,” he said.
“We will be looking back over the success of the EIP Wales programme which funded 46 on farm projects, working with over 200 farmers across Wales investigating a variety of different topics including soil and grassland, animal health, biodiversity, air and water quality, carbon storage and genetics.”
EIP Wales, says Mr Rowlands, has demonstrated how important it is for farmers to work closely with others in the agricultural sector.
“Our event is an opportunity to get together and hear the success stories from projects,” he added.
The day will also feature interactive panel discussions on sustainable farming practices, agricultural technologies, animal health and welfare and horticultural production, led by scientists, vets, experts and farmers.
Attendees will have an opportunity to shape future research by having their say on what that research should look like.
Other speakers include Powys farmer Keri Davies, Glwydcaenewydd Farm, who is piloting changes in agricultural practices aimed at improving farm efficiency and resilience, and Tim Bennett, chairman of the Centre for Innovation and Excellence in Livestock (CIEL).
The event will run from 9:30-16:00
