A vertical farming facility is opening in Canada as part of the Trusted Freshness franchise. The local availability of produce ensures that the nutritional benefits of the produce are not reduced by long transportation hauls, which is the case with the produce imported from southwestern U.S. and Mexico. The company says it will be located at a farm near Barrie, Ont., and has already received approval from Health Canada. Local food companies are expected to benefit from the increased availability of produce rather than having to rely on imports from further away. Trusted Freshness provides shared services to its franchisees, including training, distribution and marketing.
