Edible Dublin Food Strategy

What will we eat in 2050? Imagining the future of food in the City has led us to look at the past and present for answers. Looking to the past, Dublin City’s rich history is evident. Growing around the River Liffey and its tributaries, residents of the City flourished harvesting vegetables in the hinterlands, trading livestock at marts in the City, and bringing spices into the City at the port. The City’s social and economic life was defined by food, and this influence can be seen in street and place names across the City.

Growing from Eat the Streets Festival, Edible Dublin is an initiative by Dublin City Council that will set out how we feed a City in a time of climate change. This strategy will follow the principles of a just transition; enabling us to work towards a city where all residents of the City have equitable access to nutritious food for their health and well-being, now and in the future.
