The University of British Columbia Vancouver Campus is the site of both food insecurity and food waste. Food recovery programs show potential to address food insecurity and mitigate food waste at the same time. Aimed at the AMS Nest food system within the UBC Vancouver campus, this study assessed AMS Nest stakeholders’ barriers and opportunities towards food recovery. From primary and secondary research, the researchers formulated the Food Waste Recovery and Reduction Plan (FWRRP), a set of strategic guidelines towards the implementation of a future food recovery plan within the AMS Nest during the 2023-2024 school year. This report’s results, strategies, and implications are applicable to anyone interested in understanding the unique challenges and opportunities that present in university campus food systems.
