“I aim to enhance people’s workday through wholesome, nutritious meals. Lunch breaks should embody health and sustainability. To achieve this, we reduce the meat portion on our menus considerably and elevate vegetables as the focal point of our dishes.”
In his keynote speech, Mikkel Karstad explored the close link between diet and performance at work. The chef, author and consultant spoke about sustainable and healthy nutrition and its impact on employee performance and well-being. Karstad gave practical tips on how to change canteen food from ‘just filling’ to ‘healthy and revitalizing’, from ‘meat-heavy’ to ‘plant-heavy’, even for larger groups of people. He addressed both organizational issues and the necessary change process.
