CANADA: Northern Fresh Food Project Gets Some Green

“What we’re purchasing is an indoor grow unit where we can grow food for the community all year long,” said Catharine Kendall, executive director Connaught Youth Centre Society. The unit, which costs about $150,000, will be used to produce up to 480 fresh greens every four to six weeks. These will be distributed to high-risk children, youth, and their families, a crucial need for those struggling with food security.
