FACULTY OF LAND AND FOOD SYSTEMS

Our world is changing, and we need to change alongside. The Faculty of Land and Food Systems (LFS) at the University of British Columbia is where science meets society’s urgent needs. We need to protect our water, build resilience into our food supply, and figure out how to do it all with rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns. We need to figure out how better to feed humans, how better to understand the way our food nourishes and powers us, and how better to care for our food resources.
