FOODprint Dundee Initiative

Foodprint Dundee is a community food initiative that stemmed from The Gate Church's Climate Challenge Funding. The initiative aims to boost people's confidence, knowledgeand skills to cook and eat healthily on a budget.  As well as healthy eating,  the project promotes reduction of individual's environmental 'foodprint' through managing meals smartly, storing food appropriately, using leftovers, and so on.  "We throw away over 1/3 of all food that is produced, and food waste in landfills is one of the biggest contributors of the harmful gases that cause global warming, so that's bad news for both our pockets and the environment!".
The Foodprint team are armed with helpful tips on how to make the most of available ingredients in order to reduce food waste and save money.
To date, they have partnered to run sessions in numerous settings across Dundee, from St. Ninian's Stay and Play Family Support Group, to teaming up with the Taught By Muhammad project to run sessions at the Cairn Centre, and with the Claverhouse SMART Lone Parent programme.
They are keen to share their tips and resources with others who do community food work, in order to spread these useful messages far and wide, so do get in touch!
