Identifying sustainability : the UBC Model Food System example

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

Universities have the responsibility to be the leaders of social change through initiatives that respond to current social, economic, environmental and moral values. The University of British Columbia has an opportunity to lead the research of sustainable food systems through the development and study of a Model Food System. This system will incorporate the local UBC farm, a Community Kitchen and a strong community component of students, faculty and concerned Food Citizens. Our research proposal outlines the measures necessary to create and study this Model Food System (MFS). It is our belief that through this study the University will benefit from decreased operating costs, higher nutritional and social value of food menus, and a strong community linkage. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC. We urge you to contact the research persons mentioned in a report or the SEEDS Coordinator about the current status of the subject matter of a project/report.”
