Grow It Yourself Ireland (better known as GIY) is a non-profit social enterprise based in Ireland whose mission: "...is to educate and enable a global movement of food growers whose collective actions will help to rebuild a sustainable food system.
Early in 2009, Kelly with the aid of some of his fellow growers in the Waterford area, decided to set up GIY Ireland, with the aim of opening a GIY group in every town in Ireland.
[5] GIY is guided by five principles, referred to as 'Our GIY Goals' which are: eat more plants, end food waste, support small producers, stop food pollution, and connect with nature.
"[6] GIY also runs various programmes, involving working with schools and attempting to reduce food waste.
Notable partners include Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, Innocent, Energia Group and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Advocacy Hub.
