How a mechanical engineer and computer scientist became urban farmers in Montreal

Urban farms are changing Canada’s food supply in new and interesting ways. If you live in Montreal, for example, and are looking for somewhere to buy pesticide-free arugula, you might choose to order some online via a direct-to-consumer marketplace. And, depending on who you order from, you might end up with arugula that was hydroponically grown using 3D-printed materials in an indoor warehouse just 10 kilometers from downtown. To learn more about this fascinating trend, ICTC’s Mairead Matthews talks with Justin Dragan, co-founder of Tulsi Farm. Tulsi Farm is an urban farm in Montreal that produces a variety of pesticide-free vegetables hydroponically, including arugula, sweet basil, baby kale, oyster mushrooms, and more.
