"cefn" in context
Nid rhywbeth sy'n berthnasol i nifer fach o bobl yn unig na rhywbeth ymylol yw'r sector amaethyddol; dyma asgwrn cefn Cymru.
The agricultural sector isn't niche or marginal; it is the very backbone of Wales.
B2Ond gadewch inni fod yn glir, nid amgueddfa yw cefn gwlad, mae'n dirwedd fyw, weithredol, yn fusnes teuluol, yn guriad calon diwylliannol.
But, let's be clear, the countryside is not a museum, it's a living, working landscape, a family business, a cultural heartbeat.
C1Canfu arolwg barn diweddar gan Gymdeithas Tir a Busnesau Cefn Gwlad Cymru mai dim ond 3 y cant o ffermwyr sy'n ymddiried yn Llywodraeth Cymru.
A recent poll by the Country Land and Business Association Cymru found that just 3 per cent of farmers trust the Welsh Government.
C1Os cawn y newid hwn yn anghywir, nid tanseilio ffermio'n unig a wnawn, rydym yn bygwth gwead cefn gwlad Cymru.
If we get this transition wrong, we're not just undermining farming, we threaten the very fabric of rural Wales.
C1Mae pobl yn dod i Gymru i fwynhau ein cefn gwlad a'n tirweddau hardd, gyda ffermwyr yn gofalu am bron i 90 y cant o dir Cymru.
People come to Wales to enjoy our beautiful countryside and landscapes, with farmers looking after nearly 90 per cent of land in Wales.
