Description

"The Cork Food Policy Council has been formed to work towards the achievement of a fairer, healthier, more secure and sustainable food system within the City and throughout the region. We pride ourselves that Cork is the food capital of Ireland.

However:

• Increasing numbers of families across Cork are finding it difficult to put good nourishing food on the table.

• Eating cheaply might explain why our waistlines are expanding – and is likely to result in health problems later.

• We are importing more and more of our food leaving us exposed to rising prices.

• We are increasingly disconnected from producers in the region."
