Presentation Title:
FoodCloud – No good food should go to waste
Presentation Synopsis:
FoodCloud has a vision for a world where no good food goes to waste where people are hungry and wants to solve this problem at a very local level. Everyday businesses are throwing away perfectly good food, when right around the corner charities are struggling to fundraise to feed those in need. Globally 30% of food that is produced is wasted and in Ireland we waste 1 million tonnes of food a year. FoodCloud is a not-for-profit social enterprise that connects businesses with surplus food with charities in their local communities that need it across Ireland and the UK. FoodCloud provides a complete solution for all quality surplus food that arises from farm to store, this is a global first. Ireland has a rich heritage in food and agriculture and this means we have a huge opportunity to lead in developing solutions for surplus food internationally.
