WINNIPEG The availability of fresh produce in northern Manitoba is limited, but a federally funded project is developing sustainable food production systems on Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) and surrounding communities. University of Manitoba professor Miyoung Suh is collaborating with OCN Health Authority’s executive director Glenn Ross on a smart vertical farming initiative. Vertical farming is a process where vegetables and crops are grown on stacked shelves in an indoor environment. Growers use LED lights and computer-assisted technology to monitor crops for optimal growth. The practice allows growers to cultivate plants in limited spaces and more importantly, in extreme environments like northern Manitoba.
