"A nutritionally sound campus increases intake of safe, healthy and sustainable food; supports development of nutrition skills and knowledge; and promotes health and wellbeing for all members of the UBC community." — UBC Action Framework for a Nutritionally Sound Campus

---

A well-balanced, nourishing diet helps us all to thrive, fueling the important academic and professional work that happens in our classrooms, workplaces and research labs.  Ensuring our communities have access to diverse, nutritious, safe and culturally acceptable food on our campuses is crucial to supporting their success, health and wellbeing.

The UBC community has long supported sustainable and equitable food systems—UBC's Vancouver campus was the first Fair Trade campus in North America, the 24-hectare UBC Farm provides fresh, organic produce to a number of food outlets and the AMS Food Bank  and SUO Pantry work tirelessly to reduce food insecurity for students in need of support. From Meatless Mondays in residences, to food recovery programs and weekly on-campus farm markets and more, UBC is exploring new ways to make nutritious food more accessible and available to our community and help achieve our vision for a nutritionally sound campus.
