Food heroes honoured for healthy, sustainable practices

Food heroes in Cork who go the extra mile to promote healthy and sustainable practices have been honoured.

A hospital garden with links to a mental health service and a primary school which has built a geodome so it can harvest during the school term were among those presented with the top awards at the Cork Food Policy Council (CFPC) in City Hall.

Lord Mayor Cllr Tony Fitzgerald (FF) presented certificates of recognition to 37 applicants for their broad range of food-related projects in the education, not-for-profit, and commercial sectors.
