who are we?
WE'RE Afro-caribean farmers per excellence
We are unique because we are a firm run by Africans who understand that the staple dietary needs of the ethnic people are not being met in North America and Europe, and have positioned themselves to resolve this issue.
Our mission
Our mission is to grow and process, Afro – Caribbean crops and vegetables and to leverage on new technologies/methods to produce Afro Caribbean foods sustainably in Canada. Our second mission is to provide mentorship to immigrant and indigenous farmers by providing farming as a service (FAAS)
What we aim at
War displaced immigrants that are unable to work here in Canada due to inadequate language and skill issues (traditional farmers)
Make the vegetables available to a growing population in both Canada and the United States
Grow the vegetables using advanced techniques in climate controlled environment (Green-tech)
Be able to distribute locally farmed vegetables with zero impact on climate
Eliminate need to import root vegetables that are the staple food for the African and Caribbean communities in North America (this group of people were further recognized when the Canadian government made available special funding for Black-Owned and Black-Led Enterprises)
Contribute to achieving net-zero carbon emission by growing locally in farms located in geographical areas within easy reach of target population
Exit the supply-chain logistics issue being experienced with the current backlog in shipping
Grow fresh healthy vegetables and supply locally, reducing distance from farm to retail
Implement Agri-tech farming techniques such as agronomic and hydroponic farming
Create opportunities for immigrant farmers that are currently on social benefits, providing them with opportunity to work with their skillset and become independent of government support
Provide education and training to immigrant farmers within the ecosystem such as in languages and social integration.
Help these immigrants integrate into their new environments through education and training
The Solution
We have the opportunity to investigate several options
- Using ‘transport truck’ container as a self-contained farm inclusive of all utilities
- Work with education institution to conduct research and document
- Environment to successfully grow items
- Scale required to meet potential demand
- Environmental impact
- Opportunity to grow (scale growth) geographically for shorter time to market
- Have an inside unit for all year round farming as an educational facility to introduce the concept while offering farmers the chance to ‘buy in’ to the service and farm on a larger scale
- Demonstrate our solution as an eco-tourism opportunity making a positive contribution to climate control
