Collège Boréal, a higher education institution based in northern Ontario, is breaking new ground in Arctic agriculture. Thanks to a generous $1 million grant from the Weston Family Foundation, the college is spearheading a pioneering project to grow more food in the harsh climate of northern Ontario, using a hydroponic approach. This revolutionary initiative is set to redefine the boundaries of agricultural possibilities, marking a significant stride towards food sustainability in extreme climates.
