Imagine this - high quality, locally-grown leafy greens - without pesticides - ALL year round, AND grown on a large scale. Our Audra Brown travels to King City, Ontario to peek into Canada's first fully automated, hands-free greenhouse.

This definitely one of the most exciting developments pushing Canada further toward food independence.

Doesnt Canada export a huge amount of food?

[–] MysteriousSophon21@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Canada is actually the 5th largest food exporter globally, but we still import tons of produce especially during winter months. these automated greenhouses could reduce our reliance on imported leafy greens which often travel thousands of kilometers to reach us.
