In the context of UBC's Vancouver campus, food systems biodiversity is an emerging topic in larger discussion of campus sustainability. In conjunction with UBC's Climate Crisis in Urban Biodiversity (CCUB)'s mission to accelerate action for climate change and biodiversity loss, there was a need to gain an understanding of the UBC community's perceptions of campus food biodiversity. Ultimately, our study aims to involve different actors in the campus food system to increase community action and engagement towards more biodiverse food garden production and culinary menu options within the UBC food system. Applying Community-Based Action Research principles, three main surveys were designed and distributed to...
