Our Strategic Plan

2024-2029

Our food system is in a moment of critical opportunity.

The CSFS is uniquely positioned to develop solutions by bringing together UBC students, faculty, and staff and connecting them to networks of farmers, policymakers, and local and Indigenous communities – grounded by our connection to the land at the UBC Farm.

We aim to have an impact in four key areas: food security, climate, biodiversity, and decolonization.

Our goals are ambitious. We invite you to join us.
