Accessibility in Vertical Farming: GReena 

Vertical farms can be narrow spaces with many hard to reach corners making it difficult for those with mobility needs to be an operator.
Even the premise of vertical farming - growing more using less space - doesn’t lend itself to thinking of it as a spacious or an accessible work environment.
Why does this matter? Local food is better when it’s accessible to all - from those who get to eat it to those who get to grow it.
Current vertical farming technology is often narrow, tall, and can be a challenge to navigate, but industry modifications can unlock employment opportunities for operators living with disabilities and help make vertical farming more accessible to all.
Growcer partnered with the Reena Foundation and the Rick Hansen Foundation to develop the first accessible modular vertical farm in Canada.
The farm allows you to locally grow 5,600+ pounds of fresh, nutritious produce all year round.
