Sustainable Event Planning
Local is Sustainable!
Using local catering for events is a more sustainable choice because it has a lower carbon footprint than food and supplies that have traveled extensively before arriving at an event. Local businesses often support other nearby operations, like farms, creating a positive cycle in the community. Additionally, food that spends less time traveling retains more nutrients, making it healthier since produce loses freshness and nutrients over time.
