Taking urban farming to the next level. Lufa Farms has an extraordinary approach to feeding the world. Their newest rooftop hothouse in the suburb of Laval near Montreal, Lufa produces enough veggies for more than 9,000 people. According to Lufa’s founder Mohamed Hage, this is only the beginning. “Our goal is to provide a city with all of its needs for fresh produce,” he says. “We’re not just a greenhouse, we’re also a market and a network, I like to think of the building as a living supermarket.” While the original location offers over 30 varieties of hydroponically grown herbs and veggies (with almost no waste!), the new Laval location specializes in high-demand crops, like tomatoes and eggplant. Their plain is to grow in Boston, next. Lufa is growing real food with no herbicides or pesticides. Real food that is nutritious and will feed the world. NOPE. We dont need GMOs to feed the world.
