Leading Irish brands team up to combat food waste

Irish food brands join forces to tackle the issue of food waste

A group of leading Irish food brands have joined forces to launch a new initiative to combat food waste. The initiative, called FoodCloud, will see the brands work together to collect surplus food from their stores and redistribute it to charities and community groups.

Food waste is a major problem in Ireland, with an estimated 1 million tonnes of food wasted each year. This waste not only has a negative environmental impact, but it also represents a significant loss of resources.

FoodCloud aims to address this problem by providing a platform for businesses to donate their surplus food to charities and community groups. The initiative will also provide support to these organizations to help them distribute the food to those in need.

FoodCloud is a win-win for businesses and charities

For businesses, FoodCloud provides a way to reduce their food waste and improve their sustainability credentials. It also offers a tax break for businesses that donate food to慈善机构.

For charities, FoodCloud provides a reliable source of food that can be used to help those in need. The initiative will also help charities to reduce their operating costs and focus on their core mission of providing support to the community.

FoodCloud is part of a growing movement to combat food waste

FoodCloud is part of a growing movement to combat food waste. In recent years, a number of initiatives have been launched to address this issue, including the EPA's Food Waste Prevention Strategy and the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, which aims to halve food waste by 2030.

FoodCloud is a welcome addition to this movement and is expected to make a significant contribution to the fight against food waste in Ireland.
