The funding will expand the Welsh BioInnovation project eastward to cover businesses across the whole of Wales.


Around 50,000 are employed in the agri\-food sector in Wales. This includes jobs in agriculture, food production, farm equipment manufacturing, freezing, distribution, packaging, and food import and export. The sector is worth around £7 billion to the Welsh economy. 


Aberystwyth University is leading the BioInnovation project from its Biological, Environment and Rural Sciences (IBERS) facility, delivering postgraduate qualifications and industry accredited skills to Welsh agri\-food and biotech businesses, supported by Swansea University’s College of Engineering.


The project aims to support business growth, sustainability and productivity through training programmes linked to research and innovation.


It will promote best practice in areas including raw material production, food manufacturing and processing, product development, packaging, distribution, freight, and waste resource management to maximise the circular economy.


Over the next 3 years, the funding will support around 150 businesses in East Wales, and develop the skills and career prospects of technicians, consultants, researchers and managers working throughout the Welsh agri\-food and biotechnology industries.


Jeremy Miles said:



> “Wales is embracing a more sustainable approach to land management as market and climate needs change. Lower carbon solutions are being incorporated at all stages of the food chain system, from farming and agriculture, to food production, processing, consumption and waste disposal, for example by making crops more drought and pest resistant.
> 
> 
> “It’s all thanks to advances in the study of ecosystems and bio\-innovation, and collaboration between Welsh universities and businesses in Wales. High level and technical skills are crucial to supporting innovation and growth in this area, and this is where the BioInnovation project comes in.
> 
> 
> “EU funding is boosting Wales’s progress in R\&D, science, and skills training, which benefits both businesses and the prospects of people working in the farming and food sector. This translates into economic growth, as well as contributing to solving global challenges. With EU support, we’re making real strides towards a more equal, more prosperous, and greener Wales.”


Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> “I am passionate about improving the integration of economic, employability and skills development, which are key enablers to increasing prosperity in Wales. 
> 
> 
> “This significant investment will help do that by supporting businesses to provide in\-work technical training to highly\-skilled employees in an important sector for the Welsh economy.”


Prof Mike Wilkinson of Aberystwyth University said:



> “Most businesses can see the advantages of reducing waste and making more from less. Our courses aim to provide them with the skills and knowledge to be able to integrate this ‘circular economy’ ethos into both their day\-to\-day activities and their strategic decision making processes.
> 
> 
> “We have worked hard to develop courses which are accessible to people with busy lives and equip them with the tools they need to make a difference to their businesses.”


Since 2007, EU\-funded projects in Wales have created 48,700 jobs and 13,400 new businesses, while assisting 26,900 businesses and helping 90,000 people into employment.

Bydd yr arian yn estyn ffiniau'r prosiect BioArloesi tua'r dwyrain i wasanaethu Cymru gyfan.


Mae rhyw 50,000 o bobl yn cael eu cyflogi yn y sector bwyd\-amaeth yng Nghymru. Mewn swyddi mewn amaethyddiaeth, prosesu bwyd, cynhyrchu offer fferm, rhewi, dosbarthu, pacio a mewnforio ac allforio bwyd. Mae'r sector yn werth rhyw £7 biliwn i'r economi. 


Mae'r prosiect BioArloesi yn cael ei redeg gan Brifysgol Aberystwyth ar safle ei Sefydliad Gwyddorau Biolegol, Amgylcheddol a Gwledig (IBERS), gan ddarparu cymwysterau ôlradd a sgiliau sydd wedi'u hachredu gan y diwydiant i fusnesau bwyd\-amaeth a biodechnoleg yng Nghymru, hynny gyda chymorth Coleg Peirianneg Prifysgol Abertawe.


Amcan y prosiect yw helpu busnesau i dyfu a'u gwneud yn fwy cynaliadwy a chynhyrchiol trwy raglenni hyfforddi sy'n seiliedig ar ymchwil ac arloesi.


Bydd yn hyrwyddo'r arfer gorau mewn meysydd fel cynhyrchu deunydd crai, prosesu bwyd, datblygu, pacio, dosbarthu a chludo cynnyrch a rheoli gwastraff er mwyn hybu'r economi gylchol.


Dros y tair blynedd nesaf, bydd yr arian yn helpu rhyw 150 o fusnesau yn y Dwyrain ac yn meithrin sgiliau technegwyr, ymgynghorwyr, ymchwilwyr a rheolwyr sy'n gweithio ym mhob rhan o ddiwydiannau bwyd\-amaeth a biodechnoleg Cymru, gan wella'u hargoelion am waith.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles:



> "Mae Cymru wrthi'n rheoli tir mewn ffordd fwy cynaliadwy wrth i'r hinsawdd ac anghenion y farchnad newid. Mae atebion carbon isod yn cael eu defnyddio ym mhob rhan o'r gadwyn fwyd \- ar y fferm, wrth gynhyrchu, prosesu a defnyddio bwyd ac wrth ddelio â gwastraff, er enghraifft trwy ddatblygu cnydau sy'n gallu gwrthsefyll sychder a phlâu.
> 
> 
> "Mae hyn oll yn ganlyniad i ddatblygiad yn yr astudiaeth o ecosystemau a bioarloesi, a chydweithio rhwng prifysgolion a busnesau yng Nghymru. Mae sgiliau technegol ac uwch yn hanfodol er mwyn arloesi a thyfu yn y maes hwn, a dyma beth yw cyfraniad y prosiect BioArloesi.
> 
> 
> "Mae arian yr UE yn rhoi hwb i ymchwil a datblygu, gwyddoniaeth a hyfforddiant sgiliau yng Nghymru, hynny er lles busnesau ac argoelion y bobl sy'n gweithio yn y sector bwyd a ffermio. Mae hyn yn troi'n dwf economaidd yn ogystal â chyfrannu at ddatrys problemau mawr y byd. Gyda chymorth yr UE, rydyn ni'n cymryd camau mawr ymlaen i wneud Cymru'n wlad fwy cyfartal a ffyniannus a gwyrddach."


Dywedodd Ken Skates, Gweinidog yr Economi:



> “Rwy’n teimlo’n angerddol ynghylch gwneud yr economi, cyflogadwyedd a datblygu sgiliau yn fwy integredig, sef yr allweddi i wneud Cymru’n fwy ffyniannus.
> 
> 
> Bydd y buddsoddiad pwysig hwn yn ein helpu i wneud hynny trwy gefnogi busnesau i ddarparu hyfforddiant technegol yn y gwaith i weithwyr crefftus mewn sector pwysig o economi Cymru.”


Dywedodd yr Athro Mike Wilkinson o Brifysgol Aberystwyth:



> “Mae’r rhan fwyaf o fusnesau’n gallu gweld mantais lleihau gwastraff a gwneud mwy am lai. Mae ein cyrsiau ni’n anelu at roi’r sgiliau a’r wybodaeth sydd eu hangen arnynt i integreiddio ethos yr ‘Economi Gylchol’ yn eu gwaith bob dydd ac yn eu prosesau penderfynu strategol.
> 
> 
> “Rydym wedi gweithio’n galed i ddatblygu cyrsiau sy’n hygyrch i bobl sydd â bywydau prysur a rhoi’r arfau iddynt allu gwneud gwahaniaeth i’w busnesau.”


Ers 2007, mae prosiectau'r UE wedi creu 48,700 o swyddi a 13,400 o fusnesau newydd a helpu 26,900 o fusnesau a 90,000 o bobl i gael gwaith.
