Reducing the ecological footprint of Pie R Squared : the introduction of cheese-less pizza Chen, Michael; Djoko, Adya; Ho, Amanda; Kaler, Sharon; Lee, Sippi; McFarland, Jessica
Abstract
In order to alleviate the ecological footprint of Pie R Squared, the implementation of a cheese-less pizza into the current menu was pursued as a potential solution. Through conducting a pizza sampling survey, statistically significant data prove this strategy to be a viable option. Results indicate high consumer acceptance thus a high sales potential for the cheese-less pizza. In addition to having a lower ecological footprint, cheese-less pizza is vegan, lactose-free, has fewer calories and saturated fat, and has a great taste and appearance. Other strategies in lowering the ecological footprint of Pie R Squared focus on decreasing the amount of cheese and meat served by the outlet. Recommendations are made for Pie R Squared on how to implement the cheese-less pizza to promote sustainability, as other recommendations are made to future AGSC 450 students to further expand on current findings of the Food System Project. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.
