ππ¦ Diwrnod Bywyd Gwyllt y Byd
Mae bywyd gwyllt yn dibynnu ar dirweddau iach β a ninnau hefyd.
Yn IBERS, mae ein hymchwil yn dangos sut y gall glaswelltiroedd bioamrywiol, priddoedd iach a ffermio cynaliadwy helpu i gefnogi bywyd gwyllt wrth adeiladu systemau bwyd gwydn ar gyfer y dyfodol.

π± Connecting research, technology and nature-friendly farming π±
Last week, IBERS colleagues joined partners at The National Botanic Garden of Wales for an AberCollab event exploring how IBERS research and technologies can support sustainable, nature-friendly farming in real-world settings
Yr wythnos diwethaf, ymunodd cydweithwyr IBERS aβu phartneriaid yng Nghardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru ar gyfer digwyddiad AberCollab yn archwilio sut y gall ymchwil a thechnolegau IBERS gefnogi ffermio cynaliadwy, sy'n gyfeillgar i'r natur mewn amgylcheddau go iawn.
π₯© Could βforgotten meatsβ be a future superfood? π₯¦
Researchers at IBERS are exploring how nutrient-rich cuts like liver, heart and kidneys β once common in traditional diets β could make a comeback as part of a healthy, sustainable food future.
