Statement By Kelly
Speaking about the new documentary series, Kelly said, "The food system is a major contributor to the climate emergency and the choices we make each day around food can be some of the most compelling pieces of climate action we can take in our lives. There are inspiring solutions to the problems in our food system happening right under our noses. In Food Matters, I take a journey around Ireland to explore these issues and meet the people and projects that can help to change the food system one meal at a time.
"The series aims to bring viewers into this world, demystifying the complexity of the global food chain by introducing the passionate people who are making a difference here in Ireland and helping to create a more sustainable food system for all of us."
