EPISODE 1 - Growing Your Own

In the episode 1 - growing your own, we focus on food and how what we eat can effect the environment. We all need food to survive, but how we consume food has changed dramatically over the last decade. There is now a drive for us to return to local, sustainable food. In this episode Aoibhin will speak to founder of Grow It Yourself (GIY) Waterford man Michael Kelly, as well as Bernadette Kervick from Ballybeg Greens about growing your own vegetables and the benefits of eating in-season veg. Willie Drohan from Comeragh Mountain Lamb talks about the threats to his trade, of meat from animals that are reared wild on the mountains. And we look at the massive issue of food waste and how we can combat that.
