UBC Food Systems Project (UBCFSP) : scenario 3

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

In order to alleviate the ecological footprint of Pie R Squared, the implementation of a cheese-less pizza into the current menu was pursued as a potential solution. Through conducting a pizza sampling survey, statistically significant data prove this strategy to be a viable option. Results indicate high consumer acceptance thus a high sales potential for the cheese-less pizza. In addition to having a lower ecological footprint, cheese-less pizza is vegan, lactose-free, has fewer calories and saturated fat, and has a great taste and appearance. Other strategies in lowering the ecological footprint of Pie R Squared focus on decreasing the amount of cheese and meat served by the outlet. Recommendations are made for Pie R Squared on how to implement the cheese-less pizza to promote sustainability, as other recommendations are made to future AGSC 450 students to further expand on current findings of the Food System Project.
