UBC Food Systems Project, Collaborative Project V (UBCFSP) : scenario 7

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

Scenario 7 of the UBC Food System Project seeks to apply benchmarks to previously established indicators in order to gauge progress towards conforming to the model of sustainability of the project. It involves 28 indicators from previous AGSC 450 coursework, and several new indicators that came to light during our work. The indicators focus on progress by the four major partners of the UBCFS, outlined below. Work was divided among three research groups, and results were shared. We approached the four partners to find specific data pertaining to the indicators, attempting to find historical data from 2000, current data, and realistic goals for 2010. We created a model to incorporate the indicators and benchmarks into the currently defined model of sustainability. Finally we make suggestions on how to streamline the benchmarking process in the future.
