SFC Investigates the Canadian seasonal greenery opportunity

Based on research, and discussions with property owners, retailers and designers, Small Farm Canada has identified a gap in the market for Canadian locally sourced greenery. While in the U.S, large-scale foliage farms have consolidated into MEGA firms (often the only alternative for Canadian greenhouses and floral designers), there are few dedicated foliage farms in Canada at this time.

It is our view that given the size of Canada’s landmass, our diversity of flora, creative talents and the entrepreneurial spirit of our people, this should not be the case.

Video: What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? - The World of Agriculture

What Is Remote Sensing In Precision Agriculture? In this informative video, we will dive into the fascinating world of remote sensing and its role in precision agriculture. Remote sensing technology allows farmers to gather critical information about their fields without the need for physical presence. By utilizing satellites, drones, and aircraft equipped with advanced sensors, farmers can monitor various aspects of their crops, from temperature and moisture levels to overall plant health.

We will explore how the data collected through remote sensing can empower farmers to make strategic decisions for their crops. With the ability to identify specific areas that require more water or nutrients, farmers can optimize resource usage, leading to healthier plants and improved yields.

Moreover, remote sensing plays a vital role in tracking crop growth over time. By comparing images taken at different growth stages, farmers can evaluate their crops’ development and adjust their management practices accordingly.
