I took LFS 350 online this term and I really enjoyed it.  The format is similar to 250 where we have a big group project with a community partner.  My group was assigned to work with graduate students from the faculty of education that work in the orchard garden behind the MacMillan building.  The orchard garden team of students was interested in building a teaching kitchen at the garden to create a closed circle of learning – from growing food in the garden to harvesting it to preparing and eating it.  They wanted to apply for  a sustainability fund grand from the AMS and asked us to do the research necessary to help them successfully get the grant.  It was actually a really interesting project and very enjoyable.  It was really neat to participate in a research project that will have a good, positive impact on food sustainability and education at UBC.  Hopefully with the help of our hard work, the orchard garden students will be able to build a teaching kitchen and help improve the already fantastic workshops they conduct.
