Food + Nutrition targets were determined through extensive community engagement and inform actions in this wellbeing priority area. View the long-range description of success and why it matters here.
At UBC, we prioritize providing delicious, wholesome, and affordable healthy food options, and safe tap water to drink. Food served on campus is nutritious and diverse, and it reflects the university’s goals to reduce waste. Labels indicate ingredients, source, certifications, and nutrition facts. At our dining halls, restaurants, and events, we celebrate diverse cultures and locally grown ingredients.

Committee
New UBC Food System Committee (FSC)
In fall 2023, UBC's Food System Project and the Food & Nutrition Committees merged into one broader initiative to streamline efforts and strengthen opportunities to realize collective impact. This multi-stakeholder and interdisciplinary hub aims to catalyze transitions towards sustainable, healthy, secure and just food systems at UBC and beyond.
