GreenReach

Building Canadian Food Sovereignty

Research-driven tools for local food security

An agri research-and-development organization building practical tools to strengthen Canadian food sovereignty—by supporting local farms and scaling fresh produce production.

Growing made easy

Grow what your local market asks for—without adding complexity.

More varieties. Higher quality. Better predictability—with workflows that stay simple.

Grow & Sell

Increase demand, improve margins, reduce waste.

Align production with purchasing so you sell more—and throw out less.

Represent!

Unique produce. Locally grown. Harvested fresh.

Stand out with ingredients that tell a story—and deliver on quality.

Our Mission

Turning research into local capacity

Food insecurity isn't distant or rare. GreenReach exists to help communities and growers respond with durable, local capacity—not just short-term relief.

  • Transform research into deployable systems for local growers
  • Enable institutions and community organizations to produce fresh food reliably
  • Support year-round production in repurposed urban spaces
  • Build tools that strengthen Canadian food sovereignty
GreenReach Indoor Farm

Canadian Food Sovereignty (Produce Focus)

Mapping the vulnerabilities of Canada's fresh-produce supply and the barriers preventing local alternatives from scaling.

A System at Risk (Supporting Local Growers)

Identifying operational, market-access, and risk factors that hold back small and mid-sized growers—and what "support systems" actually move the needle.

Financial Viability of Indoor Agriculture

Separating hype from reality with unit economics, labour practicality, energy strategy, and go-to-market pathways that work in Canadian conditions.

Research & Pilot Projects

From research to real-world implementation

Our approach is grounded in rigorous research addressing the real barriers preventing local food systems from scaling—then proven through practical pilot projects.

Pilot Projects

Living Grocer Urban Farm

A real-world model for producing fresh greens in repurposed urban infrastructure—designed to improve local access, reduce fragility in the supply chain, and create transparent, community-connected distribution.

  • Repurposed urban space for year-round production
  • Community-connected distribution model
  • Transparent operations and food safety practices
  • Proof of concept for institutional adoption

Product Development

Technology that enables—never replaces

We design technology to amplify people and local capability, not displace it: clearer workflows, fewer failure points, better planning, and stronger operating confidence.

Light Engine

Seed-to-Table Farm Management System

A recipe-driven platform for urban farms that connects growing operations to real inventory: crop plans, traceability, compliance-ready records, harvesting workflows, and simple scanning to keep admin low and reliability high.

GROW

Urban Farming Growing System

A pragmatic growing system engineered for repeatability, cleanability, and day-to-day usability—so farms can scale without requiring specialist labour or complex retrofits.

Our Philosophy

Building a stronger system—together

GreenReach is guided by the same Canada-wide themes driving today's most effective food work: partnership across sectors, research-led decision-making, and solutions that also reduce waste and improve sustainability.

  • Collaboration across sectors—growers, institutions, communities
  • Research-led decision-making for evidence-based solutions
  • Reduce waste and improve sustainability simultaneously
  • Technology that amplifies people, not replaces them
  • Systems-level solutions over short-term band-aids
