Putting rescued food on a festival footing: the FoodCloud Kitchen food truck

At festivals from Ballymaloe to Bloom, the FoodCloud Kitchen food truck has been serving delicious dishes made from food that would otherwise be wasted, putting the ethos of FoodCloud into action and showing people just what can be achieved with surplus food

Food Cloud has three Hubs — the first was established in Cork, followed by Dublin and Galway — dealing with large volumes of surplus food which they can redistribute to charities around the country. Picture: Kenneth O'Halloran

Homemade chickpea burger with lime and coriander salsa, pan-fried Thai chicken on sticky coconut and pineapple rice, crispy nacho bowl with spiced Irish minced beef: a tempting food truck festival menu or a food waste solution?

It’s both.
