My passion for the environment started young, and over the years has grown into a strong commitment towards creating a more sustainable food system. Ever since I tasted the sweetness of a freshly picked strawberry, I knew my heart was in food. This semester, I used GIS analysis to evaluate the use of B.C’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Through ArcMap, I acquired, parsed, filtered, represented, and refined spatial data to critically assess the use of the ALR and its role in food security.
