AgriTech North wins RBC Emerging Indigenous Entrepreneur Award

Huge congrats to #LFFCmember AgriTech North on being awarded the RBC Rock My Business Emerging Indigenous Entrepreneur Award!

Congrats on your hard work being recognized, bringing fresh food to Northern, remote communities year-round via your innovative indoor farm.

AgriTech North is a first-of-its-kind, indoor vertical farm in Northwestern Ontario, growing fresh produce year-round at wholesale capacity. The company addresses rising food insecurity and environmental challenges by utilizing innovative hydroponic and aeroponic technology in a soil-less environment that also uses 90% less water, and no chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Their social mission is to reduce fresh produce costs in Far North Indigenous communities by 25% and simultaneously increase its availability in communities without year-round access.

LFFC is proud to have supported the development of Benjamin Feagin Jr. and the entire team at AgriTech North for the past year, and we continue to be ever-impressed by their ambition and dedication to their innovative work.
