Research

Our award-winning faculty pioneers interdisciplinary research on a wide range of crucial global issues. All our research is driven by a common goal: to identify the essential elements of sustainable food systems and to develop, implement and validate real-world solutions to challenges affecting local, regional and international supply chains. 

At LFS, some of our key research strengths include sustainable agriculture, food safety and quality, nutrition and health, smart agriculture, precision agriculture and climate issues. Our researchers attract major funding from agencies and organizations in B.C. and across Canada.
