Segment 7 – Where’s the AMS? | Part 2: Sustainability

This segment of our one-episode podcast is hosted by Ian and Janae. This segment features Andie Bartolome, a fifth-year International Economics student and the Associate Vice President, Sustainability of Alma Mater Society. Tune in as Andie talks about the initiatives and policies of the AMS related to promoting food sustainability and food justice. Andie also shares about her thoughts on why student inclusion is important in decision making when it comes to solving food insecurity at UBC. "[W]hen you really look at the meaning of sustainability, it is really making the world liveable for the next generations to come, and part of that is ensuring that we also they have enough to eat, so that's how I think a large [part] of food security/insecurity falls under sustainability work," says Andie.This segment's cover was retrieved from the Food at UBC Vancouver webpage, showing the three climate-friendly food labels that are being implemented in the AMS Student Nest food outlets.Additionally, to learn more about AMS Sustainability and the AMS Sustainable Action Plan 2026, click here.
