What is the Eat the Streets Project?
Eat the Streets is a Dublin City Council project funded by Creative Ireland and supported by the Eastern Midlands Waste Region that is running from March 20th to June 20th. Eat the Streets Festival is the creation of Michelle Darmody, journalist, food educator, and former owner and chef of Cake Cafe and Slice. Michelle was approached by DCC to bring to life a conversation around food and climate change - What does it mean to eat local and to eat a planetary diet? Eat the Streets explores the answers by drawing attention to Dublin’s agriculture history as the vegetable basket of Ireland. From March to May, we are asking young people and their families to plant seeds and grow roots for a tastier to tomorrow, while asking older generations for the recipes of yesteryear.

By focusing on food and having young people talk to their grandparents and parents about recipes we are fostering an intergenerational dialogue on eating local and stopping food waste, and tackling a climate change issue in a meaningful way. Eat the Streets will culminated in a 10 day festival in June that will bring together chefs, food experts, growers and producers to cook, create and discover, through a range of online and offline activities.
