Sustainable restaurants, sustainable culinary systems, and circular markets

Sarah Naderi will highlight how restaurants are connected to number of different circular markets, e.g., food and plastic/paper packaging, which may have implications for not only the circularity of other markets but also the actual sustainability of culinary systems and the capacity of individual restaurants to be more sustainable. Using various examples, the presentation will emphasize that while aspects like local food networks and farmers' markets are significant, it's also essential to address institutional factors and engage suitable actor networks to successfully 'close the loop' within a culinary system.

The Early Career Scholar Seminar Series is organised by the burgeoning Knowledge Environment Sustainable Tourism (KEST). Moderator: Solène Prince
