# Cultivating Sustainable Practices and Partnerships for Food and Beverage

A leader in sustainability, the Javits Center, the iconic convention center in New York City with the country's second largest green roof, considers the environmental impact of all their business decisions. From energy consumption and waste management to habitat conversation and food production. During Climate Week NYC, The Nest Summit got an inside view of the cutting-edge, sustainably focused dining program called **Cultivated **that will reshape and reimagine the food and beverage experience throughout the Javits Center. With chef demonstrations and in-depth discussions with local vendors, you will get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to cultivate a climate-conscious catering program.
