Lettuce & Leafy Greens
The future of agriculture is how innovative technologies are transforming farming practices toward greater sustainability and resilience. Canada is known as the top importer of lettuce and leafy green produce and imports 80% of all fruits and veggies. Because imported fruits and vegetables typically travel farther than domestic produce between farm and table, they cause greater harm from carbon emissions and pollution. Also, other countries maintain varying levels of chemical restrictions for agriculture, which can lead to the ingestion of harmful pesticides. Food security is a serious concern for all Canadians, and AHI is contributing to the solution. AHI’s turnkey indoor farming smart community is one that can be operated by anybody wanting to enter the agricultural space. Each unit can be customized to the grower and product, offering benefits such as year-round climate controlled growing seasons and food and medical grade facilities. AHI is perfectly positioned to produce all varieties of lettuce, leafy greens, and vegetables that are not genetically modified and are free of any pesticides. AHI’s purpose-built federally regulated facilities for sustainable indoor farms are scalable, provide jobs, and promote food security for future generations.
