Free sustainable workshops for catering industry

Serving up sustainability 3, held at Charterhouse Square in London, will be reviewing the key issues in sustainable food and business management. Industry experts will be addressing sustainable catering in London, exploring ideas such as collaborative tendering, collective buying groups, and access to facilities in co-ordinated 'hubs'. The aim of the events is to offer practical guidance allowing caterers and restaurants to adopt more sustainable practices in their own businesses. The other two events, which took place on 1 March and 4 March, focused on skills to recognise, define and specify sustainable food products and systems, as well as offering examples of wholesalers and producers that supply sustainable food. Recent surveys reveal that consumers are increasingly aware of the impact of the food they eat, and therefore is a growing consumer preference for sustainable food choices such as organic, locally-produced, and Fairtrade produce.
