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 strategy was refreshed in 2022 to better reflect the key activities needed within the context of increasingly complex supply chains. 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 which has student and staff representatives on it alongside, catering managers from each of the outlets, the Student Union and the Sustainability Team.
