Plus my feature interview:
Windsor may be best known for being the engine of Ontario’s auto sector. But not far from the Rose city is the farms of Essex County, another major exporter has grown rapidly in the past decade: Ontario’s greenhouse vegetable growers. Making up a massive portion of Canada’s greenhouse sector overall — last year, Statistics Canada reported Ontario is home to more than 60 per cent of all greenhouse area in the country, though not all of that is in Windsor-Essex — the province’s greenhouse sector now boasts that the cluster of growers in the southwest is second only to the Netherlands in terms of total glassed-in area.The greenhouse sector is also growing rapidly and expanded by more than 40 million square feet, or about 28 per cent, between 2016 and 2021.How are we positioning our role to meet the demand of a growing population? On the next #theArmsBumanlagProject I will be exploring the Role of Technology and R&D in Agriculture. with Matt Korpan, Head Grower – R&D, Nature Fresh Farms/South Essex Fabricating.
