UBC Food Security Project : GHG emission inventory : non-milk dairy products

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

Greenhouse gas audits of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Vancouver campus are a component of UBC’s Climate Action Plan and the intercollegiate Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) yet, to date, UBC has not performed a food system specific emission audit. The food system at UBC is an intricate system heavily dependent on outside inputs from provincial, national, and global distributors. To effectively estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the UBC food system the sector was broken into three components: meat products, vegetable products, and dairy products. This report will focus on non-milk dairy products purchased by UBC in 2011: soy products, yogurt, cream cheese, other cheeses, and goat cheese.
