Monitoring and evaluation of the Univesity of British Columbia Food System Project

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

Over the last decade, the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP) has emerged as a community-based action research project which was initiated by the Faculty of Land at Food Systems and the UBC SEEDS program. The UBCFSP has worked with core representatives in the UBC Food system to assess the sustainability of the system and transition toward a more sustainable system. The UBCFSP partners called for an improved communication strategy, which would allow them to determine the direction of the project and the needs of the campus community. In response, this project was developed to monitor and evaluate the UBCFSP, as well as direct future projects. A focus group was held involving the UBCFSP partners in order to develop a series of priority actions for the project. Through a survey involving members of the UBC Food System further information was gathered regarding the behaviours, practices, and priorities of the campus community regarding the UBC food system. Utilizing this data, we have organized and prioritized the actions to compose a draft of the document which will help guide future UBCFSP scenarios. In conducting this project, we have brought together different sections of the campus community and set the agenda for food sustainability action across UBC.
