Speaking at today’s launch, festival Chairperson Martin Bealin was highlighting the amount of waste festivals generate and the sustainable practices that the Dingle Food Festival are implementing to reduce this. “There will be approximately 150,000 tastings happening over the weekend, so getting rid of the disposable packaging will make a huge impact… it’s a big challenge for the Dingle Food Festival community but one we know will be embraced” he said.Other sustainable practices over the weekend will be HVO Generators - festival generators will be run on ethically sourced HVO for the weekend, providing the electricity for the market stalls. Less Paper - printed material moving online, with a smaller festival programme being printed. Green Transport - working with Bus Éireann and The Local Link, providing more bus options to and from the peninsula over the weekend Sustainable practices workshops - workshops on how you can practice better sustainability including one specifically for children, delivered by Jennider Attard of MTU on “Limiting Food Waste” Micro Bio Digester manufacturer “MyGug” will set up a micro bio digester to convert all the unavoidable food waste, instantly into gas, which will be used to power the cookery demonstrations by local producers. Highlights of this year’s festival include the much loved Taste Trail, where festival goers purchase a book of taste tickets and get to sample food delights throughout the picturesque town. Numerous Food Masterclasses and workshops will be taking place including Pitmaster Barbeqing from Smokin Soul, Seafood Curing and Smoking with Burren Smokehouse, Sourdough Making, Cake Baking and Wine Tasting and much much more.
