The University of British Columbia Food System Project (UBCFSP) : scenario 6

The Beaty Biodiversity Centre, currently under construction on UBC's Main Mall, will be the future site of both the Biodiversity Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. A new sustainable UBC Food Service outlet is also slated for development within the museum. Expected to be the first of its kind as well as a possible model for other food outlets on the UBC campus, we were tasked with the opportunity to propose 'green' options for the outlet in terms of interior design, energy usage, waste management and menu options, amongst other things. We also showcase the future food outlet's role in the broader scope of the national and global food system. Extensive primary and secondary researched methods were employed, including literature reviews, personal communications with various stakeholders and review of other sustainable food outlets, in order for us to reach our conclusions. Recommendations to the various stakeholders and future AGSC 450 classes were also given.
