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.

B.C. farms could cut climate emissions by one-fifth with tools they already have

 

British Columbia farmers could cut agricultural climate pollution by about 20 per cent within the next few years using practices that are already available to them, new UBC-led research finds.
