Learning outcomes:

Demystify the biggest misconception about local food & how to easily communicate catering’s environmental impact to corporate stakeholders and attendees

Learn simple behavioral science techniques to design sustainable, plant-forward menus & how to guide 60-80% of omnivores to choose sustainable options effortlessly

Explore actionable steps to make your catering menu work for the planet, and your bottom line
