UNBC has taken a number of actions at the local and community level to ensure support for the goal of Zero Hunger. Whether its donating and maintaining a food bank for students or working towards policies which would see zero food waste on campus or feeding students through our First Nations Centre, the University is working at the local level to ensure that students, staff, and faculty have access to nutritious food. Our researchers are actively engaged in projects to ensure food security throughout northern B.C. and with collaborators around the world to address issues of food scarcity, along with engaging in research which addresses the need for bio-degradable and targeted pest control and strengthening agricultural soil.

NUGSS Food Bank

NUGSS provides a food bank to help improve food security for the entire UNBC community. The NUGSS Food Bank is located at the NUGSS office in room 6-370 and is available during regular office hours.
