Catering for meetings and conferences is one area in which organisations can help to reduce their impact on the environment. Kent is keen to work towards a reduced carbon footprint and your contribution can help towards this.

Produced in Kent promotes local and seasonal produce and provides support and services to some of the Kent Conference Bureau venues.

Produced in Kent develops and stimulates the market for Kentish products, promotes Kentish produce and develops a brand which means value, quality and provenance to the public.

Local food and beverage produce is paramount to many of the Kent venues and quite often, cheese, milk, ice cream, meat, fruit and vegetables are produced locally and purchased by the venues thus reducing the (‘food-miles’) air pollution and CO2 emissions associated with transport.

Purchasing local food helps keep money in the Kent economy, whilst creating/maintaining jobs and prosperity for the local workforce.
