Canada Bets on Greenhouse Farming to Boost Food Sovereignty

Canada is investing in greenhouse agriculture to reduce dependence on imports, particularly from the US, amid trade tensions. This move aims to boost food sovereignty and provide a competitive edge in the agricultural sector.


In the face of growing competition with Donald Trump's United States and the ongoing trade war, Canada is betting big on greenhouse agriculture. In Ontario, the heart of national agricultural research and innovation, tomatoes and cucumbers are just some of the produce grown safe from bad weather and harsh winters. The country is also banking on artificial intelligence to reduce its dependence on imports, particularly American ones.
