The UBC Food System : to infinity and beyond climate neutral Yeh, Rachel; Arbabian, Yasaman; Rahimi-Aliabadi, Neda; Siegel, Jacob; Tang, Jing; Tso, Ryan; Wigton, Kristen

Abstract

Food systems play a significant role in climate change. The UBC Climate Action Partnership (CAP) has proposed a goal to allow UBC to become “Beyond Climate Neutral”. There are many ways that the UBC food system can contribute to this goal. Different sectors of this food system (specifically in supply, consumption, and waste management and composting) all contribute to climate change in varying ways. Specific recommendations are made to allow the UBC food system to move beyond climate neutral. 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. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC. We urge you to contact the research persons mentioned in a report or the SEEDS Coordinator about the current status of the subject matter of a project/report.”
