As voted for by PETA, Kent appears in their list of the top vegan friendly UK Universities.
1 October 2018 saw the launch of the University’s first ever sustainable food strategy, which provided a road map for increasing the sustainability of our food offering from field to fork and beyond. The plan was reviewed and refreshed for the second time in 2023 to better reflect the key activities needed within the context of increasingly complex supply chains and complimentary university initiatives such as Right to Food. The action plan supports the University’s overall response to the climate crisis and meets ever increasing demand for more sustainable options across our campuses’ menus.
The action plan is delivered by each of the catering outlets and overseen by the Sustainable Food Steering Group comprised of representatives from catering, procurement, waste, Kent Union and the sustainability team.
