UK event hire vs. food sustainability: let's unpack it ⬇️ With the world facing challenges like climate change and pollution, sustainable eating is more important than ever. Adopting sustainability in your venue's food service offering carries loads of benefits. It can enhance your reputation, reduce costs, ensure compliance with regulations, offer healthier food choices, and contribute to global sustainability goals. The term "sustainable gastronomy" is about making food choices that are good for us and the planet - cooking and eating in a way that uses local, seasonal, and eco-friendly ingredients, while also reducing waste and harm to the environment. The UN promotes this activity through initiatives like the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and promoting clean energy for local restaurants. Here are 5 simple ways your venue can practice sustainable gastronomy: ✅ Find local suppliers for fruit, veg, meat and diary. ✅ Use fresh, seasonal products. ✅ Reduce waste by using reusable serving ware, and following recycling programmes. ✅ Use fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, grass clippings and leaves as compost. ✅ Use sustainable practices in food preparation like energy-efficient appliances. #EventSustainability #SustainableFood #LocalProduce #ReduceWaste #SeasonalIngredients #HealthyChoices #CommunityFarming #UNESCO #SustainableGastronomy #ClimateAction

Cooking Up a Sustainable Future: The Culinary World's Green Revolution In a world where conscious choices shape our collective future, the culinary industry is embarking on a transformative journey towards sustainability. From farm to fork, a growing movement is paving the way for eco-friendly practices that prioritize the well-being of our planet. Leading the charge are visionary restaurants and food producers who are actively reducing their carbon footprint through innovative strategies. By embracing locally sourced ingredients, implementing energy-efficient operations, and minimizing food waste, they are redefining the meaning of a delectable dining experience. One remarkable example is where the menu is a celebration of seasonal, organic produce sourced from nearby farms. Their commitment to sustainability extends to their use of renewable energy and a comprehensive recycling program, ensuring a minimal environmental impact. Similarly, revolutionizing the industry by pioneering sustainable packaging solutions and adopting regenerative agricultural practices that enrich the soil and promote biodiversity. These inspiring initiatives are just the beginning of a culinary renaissance that harmonizes flavor and environmental stewardship. As conscious consumers, we all have a role to play in supporting and advocating for sustainable practices in the food industry. Join the conversation and share your insights, experiences, and ideas for a greener culinary future. Together, we can savor the flavors of today while preserving the bounties of tomorrow. We invite all culinary professionals, sustainability advocates, and passionate foodies to contribute to this vital discussion. Let's collectively shape a future where delicious and sustainable go hand in hand. #sustainableculinary #greendining #ecogastronomy #foodforthefuture #sustainablefood #zerowaste #regenerativeagriculture #climateaction #circulareconomy #greenbusiness #ecofriendlyfood #plantbaseddiet

🌱NUDGING TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FOOD CONSUMPTION🌱 Honored to be keynote speaker at the #OrganicFoodDay in Finland this week! I had the chance to talk about some powerful behavioral techniques Beteendelabbet tested to nudge people towards sustainable food choices, for example: ✅MAKE IT DEFAULT In a conference, we increased vegetarian lunches from 20 to 90 % (And the guests - just as happy) 🏗️ MOVE IT CLOSER Together with Organic Sweden, We increased sales of Saltå Kvarns organic oats with up to 165 % by replacing them next to apples 💎MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE: Together with Liseberg we increased sales of the vegetarian choice at the restaurant by 275 % when removing the negative associations to vegetarian choice by renaming the dish “Soy beef “ to "Summer plate” KIITOS Pro Luomu ry for arranging a great conference Heidi Haavisto-Meier, Aura Lamminparras, Minna Ala-Kyyny, Krista Tuomi etc, and to Karl Anton Järild for connecting us. Last but not least - 3 take home messages - working with #behaviordesign and #nudging in practice:  🌟Understand your user and the decision making environment it’s in! 🌟Design solutions that makes it easy for our brain to do the right choice! 🌟Do more experiments, innovate and evaluate, learn and scale what really works!

🌏 Today, World Day of Sustainable Gastronomy, from #Fruselva we join in this day of vindication for a diet that takes into account the origin of the ingredients, how they are grown and how they reach your homes and dishes. 🍽️ 👉 So, we want to share 5 fundamental principles of #sustainability for #food and # agriculture: - Increase productivity, employment and added value in food systems - Protect and promote natural resources - Improve livelihoods and promote sustainable economic growth - Enhance the resilience of people, communities and ecosystems  - Adapt governance to the new challenges #SustainableGastronomy #FoodIndustry #SustainableFood #Sustainability

Did you know? One-third of all food produced globally is wasted—approximately 1.3 billion tons each year! Sustainable gastronomy is all about mindful cuisine that considers the entire life cycle of food—from how it's grown to how it reaches our tables. This approach is vital, as food production accounts for about 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 🐄 Gastronomy is a central part of culture and is based on seasonal and locally produced ingredients. In contrast with industrial and highly processed food, traditional gastronomy has benefits both for the planet and people. This week, we celebrate sustainable gastronomy by advocating for production and consumption practices that minimise negative impacts on our air, water, and land. Support local farmers, choose sustainable options, and protect our planet with every meal. ♻️ Every small change makes a big difference! Let's reduce waste and make every bite count.  ✨ #SustainableGastronomy #WorldSustainableGastronomyDay #ClimateCommunications #ClimateAction

Happy Sustainable Gastronomy Day everyone!   While today is the day officially designated by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UN General Assembly no less, we like to think we practise and celebrate its principles every day.   Defined as cuisine that takes into account where the ingredients are from, how the food is grown and how it gets to our markets and eventually to our plates – we reckon that describes perfectly what we do at Lussmanns.   It’s why our meat is all free-range and/or organic, why we champion sustainable seafood by proudly holding Marine Stewardship Council chain of custody and source 95% of our ingredients from UK farmers, fishers and producers.   Join the movement for a sustainable hospitality industry!

🌱🍽️ What is sustainable gastronomy? It’s all about making food in ways that are good for the planet, fair for farmers, and tasty for us! 🌍✨ Costa Rica is a leader in this. Here’s how: 1. Farm-to-Table: Many restaurants get their ingredients straight from local farmers, ensuring fresh food and supporting the community. 2. Biodiversity: Costa Rican dishes use a variety of native plants, like yucca and chayote, helping preserve the country’s rich biodiversity. 3. Eco-Friendly: From composting to using biodegradable packaging, Costa Rican food spots are big on reducing waste and being green. Costa Rica’s dedication to sustainable food practices makes their cuisine not only delicious but also kind to the Earth. 🌎❤️ #SustainableGastronomy #EcoFriendlyEats #CostaRica #InternationalSustainableGastronomyDay

Choosing a meal three times a day (or more, if you're #alwayshungry like me) can nourish you and the planet. My favorite ideas from Food for Climate League 's 2024 report on increasing #sustainable food choices make the most of #foodtrends: ☕️ Make your coffee station plant-based by adding oat milk or other plant-based milk. 🍋 Pair #sustainable aquatic foods with yuzu. 🌱 Put a spin on the TikTok-famous "girl dinner" by making it zero-waste and plant-forward.

🌱 Exciting Trends to Increase Sustainable Food Choices 🌱 I'm thrilled to share our latest trend report from Food for Climate League, highlighting four key takeaways that are reshaping how we think about sustainable food choices. My top two are: 1️⃣ Inclusive Approach to Sustainability: It's not just about marketing to eaters or collaborating with chefs on menu creation. We're discovering the vital role of every staff member involved in food service. From servers engaging in conversations with eaters to kitchen staff infusing their love into sustainable dishes, it's crucial to include everyone in our sustainability initiatives. When was the last time you talked to your server about your sustainability efforts? 2️⃣ Whole Plants Revolution: While plant-based diets have gained traction, we've sometimes overlooked the essence of plants themselves. Instead of merely imitating meat, let's celebrate the abundance of whole, vibrant plants—naturally colorful vegetables, nourishing legumes, wholesome nuts, and flavorful pulses. Let's shift our focus to placing plants at the heart of our meals, embracing their diversity and creativity without feeling the need to replace meat. Where can you start with the plant and create a dish? 📥 Download the full report https://lnkd.in/gbvajFUB to explore more insights and discover how we're embracing these trends to create a more sustainable future in the food industry. Let's continue to innovate and inspire change together! Thank you Kelly Smith Killian Eve Turow-Paul Chhavi Jatwani Sophie Egan for bringing this to life. #foodtrends #sustainablefood #foodchoice
