The demand for plant-based meals continues to increase as more people adopt a 'flexitarian' approach to eating with vegetarianism and veganism gaining in popularity too. These changes are being driven by concerns about health, the environment and animal welfare.
Public sector caterers in schools, hospitals, care homes, universities, prisons and the military have to respond to this demand from their customers while continuing to meet nutritional standards and provide a balanced diet that includes meat and dairy.
Plant-Based Week will include help and advice about how to run a plant-based day as well as aiming to ‘inspire’ and educate caterers across the sector. A special Plant-Based Week supplement will be published within the May issue of Public Sector Catering.
More details will be announced soon. If you are a supplier and would like to find out more about how to get involved, visit here.
