It is a great idea and absolutely necessary to a country like Canada. I also have some possible ieads to implement to get year-round food production and preservation. I have a lot of skills and experience in agriculture and food processing. I’m an internationally trained professionals and have graduated up to PhD in agriculture. I am really interested in this type of projects but I’m unable to initiate and start this kind of activities at the moment as I’m a newcommer to Canada and still truggling to settle. Therefore, if any one initiate and ready to invest on it I am happy to help and work with them through out. Currently I am living in Ajax, ON temporarily with my family and willing to re-located if necessary.

Thanks
Thanaraj

I think this program is wonderful. Currently involved as a volunteer in the urban farming movement in the GTA at Downsview Park I am delighted that the ball is rolling and moving in the right direction. My question is; what group (if any) is researching how to move/adapt this concept to be installed on a roof top? Living in very densely populated urban centre in a city with the worlds first green roof top by-law – the GTA has potentially hundreds of acres available to supplement peri-urban and traditional farming supply chains.

Thanks for all the great info in your site. I’m currently trying to start a community farming project in my home town and I’m finding there’s a lot of support out there for people like me. Thanks again!

There is a definite potential for grants for greenhouse projects. if you can hook up with some sort of neighbourhood association there is a possibility you can get funding. i have heard of an inner-city community greenhouse project that has reciveed funding in winnipeg. if you look to develop it as a community oriented project (especially in the inner-city) you’d probably have a better chance of procuring the necessary support.

Hi,
that is very interesting and good.
It is not as much what i think but more an small inquiry!!!
Is there such things as grants for people who would like to start new greenhousing projects? like lets say me and spouse. We dont have no capital finances to invest,not even to purchase land with living facilities,as we are renting in the city and living from pay to pay.
But I was raised on a small hobby farm and know a bit about greene houses and farming. So I have always loves farming and the country side.And that is stuff that really interest me.

thank-you
