在这篇简介文章中，我们报告了我们认为是一个丰富的学习经验，它将教学法和研究交织在一起：一个以社区为基础的行动研究过程，它已经开始向不列颠哥伦比亚大学（UBC）食品系统的可持续性过渡。我们称之为UBC食品系统项目（UBCFSP）。UBCFSP是土地和粮食系统学院与UBC可持续发展办公室共同发起的项目，包括9个UBC组织合作伙伴和1个合作者。我们认识到，我们的全球、国家、区域和地方粮食系统越来越具有社会、生态和经济不安全和不可持续的特点，因此该项目应运而生。因此，这些粮食系统正面临一系列脆弱性，特别是我们的生态系统受到严重破坏和营养不良在世界范围内流行所表现出来的脆弱性。该项目的总体目标是进行全校范围内的UBC食品系统可持续性评估，其中正在共同确定和实施阻碍向食品系统可持续性过渡的障碍和机会。本文是旨在分享迄今为止通过该项目收集到的经验的系列文章的一部分。本简介的目的是提供UBC食品系统项目的简要概述，包括背景和意义，教学方法和研究方法，以及迄今为止的一些成就。
In this profile article, we report what we consider to be a rich learning experience which intertwines pedagogy and research: a process of community-based action research which has initiated a transition towards the sustainability of the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) food system. We call this initiative the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP). The UBCFSP is a jointly initiated project between the Faculty of Land and Food Systems and the UBC Sustainability Office, and includes nine UBC organizational partners and one collaborator. The project emerged out of the recognition that our global, national, regional, and local food systems are increasingly characterized as socially, ecologically, and economically insecure and unsustainable. As a result, these food systems are experiencing an array of vulnerabilities, particularly those that are demonstrated by profound disruptions in our ecosystem and in a worldwide epidemic of malnutrition. The overall objective of the project is to conduct a campus-wide UBC food system sustainability assessment, where barriers that hinder and opportunities to make transitions towards food system sustainability are being collaboratively identified and implemented. This article is part of a series intending to share the experiences gathered so far through the project. The purpose of this profile is to provide a brief overview of the UBC Food System Project, including the context and significance, both the pedagogical approach and research methods, and some accomplishments to date.
