ABSTRACT
Remote communities in Canad a\, and for that matter around the world\, have far too long relied on ext ensive supply chains\, and unsustainable methods of energy. Growing North\ , challenges this existing mentality\, through the construction of off gri d food production facilities in Canada's Arctic. This allows remote commun ities to produce massive amounts of food on location\, reduce the overall cost\, reduce dependency on supply chains\, and with incorporated educatio nal programming help increase local graduation rates. Join us to discuss i ncorporating Green Technology\, and the future of expansion!
