The challenge
In Central Canada, where cold weather and limited fresh food availability pose challenges, supermarkets often find it difficult to provide fresh vegetables. Recognizing this, Vermillion Growers Ltd. collaborated with the local community, government, and Gakon Netafim. Their joint efforts led to the financing of a 10-acre high-tech greenhouse, designed to conserve water and energy. This innovative facility promises to supply the local community with fresh tomatoes throughout the year, while also creating much-needed jobs.
