Practicing urban agriculture right here : integrating the LFS Garden with the Faculty of Land and Food Systems community : management, resources, and budget

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

As part of UBC Food System Project, our group was given the task of examining specific challenges that the Land and Food Systems Orchard Garden (LFSOG) presently encounters. The objective of scenario 4a is to provide LFSOG with the information, tools and manpower needed to successfully move forward and reach its full potential. The garden is an excellent educational tool that can be used to connect the land and food systems. It is also a space where UBC faculty and students can come together to try and achieve the LFS vision statements. Our group was given the task of researching, discussing and making recommendations surrounding issues of the garden management. Including management plans, budgeting, funding and resources. This was accomplished first by reviewing the vision statements of the LFS faculty. With these visions in mind the group gathered findings and then discussed each task in detail. It was determined that in order for the garden to successfully expand, an organized and well thought-out management plan was need.
