Paula McIntyre – Slow Food

Northern Ireland boasts a short supply chain and by sourcing local, the ingredients on your plates will be fresher and tastier. Buying locally sourced produce allows you to offer seasonal surprises on your menu that evoke a sense of place and highlight traceable food. Supporting the local food chain keeps the local food industry more sustainable and helps to minimise your carbon footprint, which brings wider benefits to the environment and the communities we live in. This session will outline how you can highlight your commitment to sustainability on your menu and hear about the support and marketing opportunities available from Food NI and the industry panelists.
