WINDSOR, ONT. The province is investing more than $3.6 million in greenhouse growers to help recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and boost competitiveness and innovation. Funding is being provided through the Greenhouse Competitiveness and Innovation Initiative to support 12 “innovative” projects to help develop new technologies. During these exceptional times, Ontario s greenhouse operations have played a critical role in making sure families across the province can continue to put food on their tables all year long, Ernie Hardeman, minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs said in a news release. That s why we are investing in projects that will help greenhouse businesses improve productivity and adopt new technologies to address labour challenges and better position greenhouses to recover from COVID-19 faster.
