Food Security 


Alberta Food Security Inc. is committed to ensuring affordable and quality produce is available year-round without fear of shortages or rapid inflation hurting families.

We set up entrepreneurs with the equipment, tools, and systems they need to be hyper-local farmers in any under-utilized real estate.

Grow anything, anywhere, year round.

Grow Anywhere -Utilize Your Space

Unlike other CEA systems (Controlled Environment Agriculture, like hydroponics or greenhouses), your facility does not have to be purpose-built with specialized electrical and environmental controls. Our grow modules can be placed in any vacant real estate space, whether it's supposed to be office, industrial, or retail. Maybe you have a spare heated barn, or abandoned school or church. Our systems work anywhere there is power, heat, and an internet connection.

Our systems are modular. Do you only have 1500 square feet? You can buy 15 of them. Do you have 9500 square feet? You can place and run up to 95 of our systems in that space. Can't afford to fill your space entirely in the beginning? Our system is scalable, you can add more vertical farms as your business and success grows. 

Experience the Efficiency of Vertical Farming

Our vertical farming system are more efficient compared to both traditional farming, as well as other greenhouse and hydroponic systems.

Compared to traditional farming, our system takes up 90% LESS space and 90% LESS water while creating almost zero CO2 emissions like traditional farm equipment produces.

Compared to other greenhouse / hydroponics / vertical farm operations (CEA - Controlled Environment Agriculture), we have solved the efficiency issues from both a capital and operating cost perspective.

On the Capital Cost side, most CEA systems require specialized buildings with purpose-built plumbing, HVAC, and electrical infrastructure. With Alberta Food Security, you can use existing vacant buildings (office, retail, industrial, schools, barns, etc), with their existing plumbing, electrical, and HVAC infrastructure to operate our systems.

Regarding Operation Costs, utilizing Alberta designed, sourced, and produced technologies, we have brought the energy consumption of our grow modules down to unheard of levels. Each grow module uses only 800 Watts, less than most household microwaves! No other CEA system comes close.
