McCain Foods Limited has significantly invested in GoodLeaf Sustainable Agriculture and its subsidiary GoodLeaf Farms, the largest commercial vertical farming operation in Canada. The investment, exceeding $65 million, makes McCain the largest shareholder in GoodLeaf and will support the company's growth and expansion plans. GoodLeaf aims to establish a national network of sustainable vertical farms to provide fresh, locally grown food to more Canadians. The company's first commercial farm, a fully automated 45,000-square-foot facility in Guelph, Ontario, grows a variety of microgreens and baby greens year-round. GoodLeaf plans to open two more indoor vertical farms in the next year, one in Eastern Canada and one in Western Canada. The farms use 95% less water than traditional farming and have a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
