Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Circular Economy in the Food Sector: Discussion

Ms Angela Ruttledge:

No, exactly. It is not even measured properly, never mind tackled. We see huge potential to scale up there.

On the elements required to scale, it feels like everything is coming together now with the roadmap. The legislation is on the horizon from the EU but it feels like what we need is more resources and more investment in the capacity of the redistribution sector.

We also need more headcount to ensure that we are sharing all of our knowledge.
