The success of community gardens in Cork City, which grow vegetables, supply food boxes, and tackle river pollution, will be highlighted at an event in Dublin today by Safefood, the all-island implementation body for healthy eating initiatives.

The event is part of a national Talk About Food campaign, which looks at how food is displayed in supermarkets, grown, transported, and other issues with local community groups.
