Greenhouse operations are a growing industry in Canada according to Statistics Canada. They can provide healthy and tasty food close to home, creating jobs, reducing distances travelled, and increasing resilience toward the disruptions to food supplychains that climate change is making all too common. But in a world where carbon emission reductions are a growing priority, greenhouse operations in Canada may face challenges in the years to come.Canada and most advanced economies have committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Reaching this goal is essential because the devastating droughts, floods, storms and wildfires experienced just in the last few years are nothing compared to what we and future generations will experience if we do not.This means that every sector of our society will see growing pressure to transition to low-carbon operations.
