The Food Cloud Kitchen at the Unity Centre in Windtown, Meath County Council, is a community initiative aimed at reducing food waste. This initiative is part of a larger national effort to address the issue of food waste, which is a significant problem in Ireland. Food waste is a major concern in Ireland, with an estimated 1.1 million tonnes of food wasted annually. This waste represents a significant economic loss, amounting to €1.2 billion.
This is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste is a major problem, and it’s estimated that a third of all food produced globally is wasted. This is a huge problem, and it’s not just about the environment, but also about food security and economic stability.
