Our Mission
We are committed to creating sustainable solutions that contribute to the global goals of achieving food sovereignty and environmental sustainability.
Problems eGrowth is Solving
Our innovative approach addresses critical challenges in food production and sustainability
Food Sovereignty
Canada imports over 80% of its fruits and vegetables, creating vulnerability in our food supply chain. eGrowth's solution enables year-round local production, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening food security for Canadians.
Environmental Impact
Traditional agriculture consumes vast amounts of water and land while contributing to carbon emissions. Our geothermal greenhouses use up to 99% less water, require significantly less land, and operate as carbon-negative facilities.
Climate Resilience
Extreme weather events and changing climate patterns threaten traditional farming. eGrowth's controlled environment agriculture provides consistent growing conditions regardless of external weather, ensuring reliable crop production year-round.
Economic Sustainability
Traditional farming faces economic challenges with seasonal limitations and market volatility. Our approach creates sustainable, profitable operations through higher productivity, reduced resource consumption, and year-round growing capabilities.
