UBC Food System Project : scenario 2

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

Scenario two of the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP) for 2006 looks at the feasibility of introducing local food into a UBC food retail outlet. In order to observe tangible results, we chose one food service outlet, a pizza parlour, Pie R Squared (PRS) and one producer, the UBC Farm. We examined the constraints and interests of PRS and the UBC Farm by conducting interviews. Next we developed two pizza recipes and conducted a taste-test at PRS to determine customer acceptability. Currently, PRS and the UBC Farm are in discussion regarding implementation of the UBC Farm pizza for September of 2006. Additionally, to extend the length of time that UBC Farm can provide PRS with produce, we examined the feasibility of a root cellar at the UBC Farm. A root cellar can also help the farm fulfill its mandate as an educational centre. Based on our methodology, we created a model that can be applied to food service outlets both on and off campus. Finally, we provided a list of recommendations to the groups of Scenario two for Spring 2007.
