AMS Food and Beverage Service

Our analysis of the AMS Food Services is based on a systems approach using a community-based, weak anthropocentric ethical perspective. From personal interviews and research articles, our group concluded that the AMS Food Services has done a fair job in meeting certain criteria of sustainability. AMS has shown increased profits over the past four years and has made efforts to support the local economy. For social sustainability, we focused on food security and profit distribution issues. Composing, waste management and purchasing practices contribute to ecological sustainability. Overall, our group recommends that the AMS Food Services has to increase support and awareness from the university community to help create a sustainable UBC food system.
