Greenhouse Planning for First Nations Communities
LGTC helps First Nations communities plan year-round food production that fits the community, its people and its goals.
We build training and capacity-building plans before recommending any structure, and we are vendor-neutral, so we help you decide whether a greenhouse, a container farm or neither is the right fit.
Our planning work with Long Plain First Nation helped secure $1M in grant funding for Phase 2.

Our approach
People and skills first, structure second.
A growing facility only succeeds when the community has the people and skills to run it. That is why we map training and capacity-building needs before recommending a structure.
We do not sell greenhouses or container farms. Our job is to help you compare the options honestly, including the option of not building at all.
