Greenhouse Business and Innovation
April 8, 2025
Athabasca here we come! Rob Lyle, founder of greenshaus, is delighted to be included as a speaker in the workshop series.
The workshop series is designed to empower community members with the skills, knowledge, and partnerships to build a stronger local food economy. It will explore ways to enhance community “grownership” through collaborative food initiatives and sustainable business strategies, developing practical skills while fostering vital connections.
Athabasca Grown, is a joint project of The Town of Athabasca, Athabasca University researchers and industry consultants. The main part of the project is a feasibility study of a “passive solar” greenhouse that would extend Northern Alberta’s growing seasons for local food production, even into the winter.
The team will examine the overall benefits, including regenerative production, agrotourism, job creation, community economic development, and more.
A workshop series will explore these subjects further, facilitated by industry experts and practitioners, to engage the community and build local capacity.
