Food prices have been on everybody’s mind.
Les Verts Living is a new Canadian business.
This is a part of their message:
The Les Verts Terrace indoor hydroponic garden system. https://lesverts.com/
A head of lettuce flown into a remote northern community can cost $10 or more. A fresher, more nutritious head of lettuce grown locally with the Terrace Pro Community Harvest System costs $1.25 or less in input costs.
That’s not a rounding error. That’s a completely different relationship with food.
The Community Harvest System grows 60 heads of fresh lettuce (or other crops) every week using a room your community already has, powered by a standard electrical outlet, operated by anyone on your team in under 2 hours a week. No new infrastructure, no permitting, no technical expertise.
Could an unused room in your school, organization, or community become part of your food security strategy?
