While Canada is among one of the largest countries in the world based on landmass, its population is relatively small. While having plenty of land is seen as a good thing from an agricultural perspective, only 7% of Canada's land is cultivable. (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/agriculture-in-canada) There's a shortage of land to meet the growing demand worldwide, and vertical farming can help bridge that gap.

Vertical farming involves increasing the food production per square meter and to achieve that goal, crops are cultivated in stacked layers. A tower-like structure is built indoors to make this happen, and all variables are monitored and can be regulated to provide the best environment for crops to thrive. LEDs are used to provide the adequate level of light in vertical farming, while the level of water is constantly monitored too. The beds rotate to ensure all levels of the vertical "farm" receive adequate sunlight.

Steve Maxwell of Maxwell Capital shares his thoughts on vertical farming stating, "There's a need for innovative farming techniques in Canada. We rely on our exports and crop production and therefore need to work on ways to improve the yield, reduce waste, and improve margins for our farmers. Vertical farming can make these goals achievable, provided adequate guidance and infrastructure is provided."

While regular farming methods require plenty of water, vertical farming uses up to 95% less water, making it efficient and environmentally friendly. Vertical farming can make farming possible in major cities and reduce the time and money it takes to transport locally grown produce.
