Service alimentaire Gordon, l'un des principaux fournisseurs de services alimentaires en Am\u00e9rique du Nord, et Square Roots, le leader technologique de l'agriculture urbaine int\u00e9rieure, ont c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 aujourd'hui l'ouverture de la premi\u00e8re ferme issue de leur partenariat strat\u00e9gique<\/a>lors d'une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie d'inauguration sur le campus du si\u00e8ge social de Service alimentaire Gordon au Michigan. En plus des cadres et du personnel des deux entreprises, les invit\u00e9s comprenaient des clients et des repr\u00e9sentants locaux et gouvernementaux. Les participants en ont appris davantage sur l'installation, la premi\u00e8re du genre organis\u00e9e par un distributeur de services alimentaires de grande envergure, et ont pu visiter la ferme int\u00e9rieure.<\/p>\n

Dans son allocution, Rich Wolowski, pr\u00e9sident et chef de la direction de Service alimentaire Gordon, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9: \u00abNous \u00e9tablissons des relations avec des agents de changement qui aident \u00e0 remodeler la fa\u00e7on dont les aliments sont produits, pr\u00e9par\u00e9s et servis - et Square Roots est un excellent exemple. Nous savons qu'il est imp\u00e9ratif de nous impliquer dans l'avenir, d\u00e8s aujourd'hui, pour nous assurer d'\u00eatre de la partie demain, et c'est un mod\u00e8le qui pourrait aider \u00e0 r\u00e9volutionner nos syst\u00e8mes alimentaires. C'est formidable que nous puissions en plus d\u00e9montrer ce concept dans notre propre jardin.\u00bb<\/p>\n

La ferme int\u00e9rieure modulaire, situ\u00e9e sur la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 du si\u00e8ge social de Service alimentaire Gordon, a \u00e9t\u00e9 presque imm\u00e9diatement mise en production apr\u00e8s l'ach\u00e8vement de la construction plus t\u00f4t ce mois-ci. Les dix unit\u00e9s de culture li\u00e9es au nuage, qui utilisent des syst\u00e8mes d'hydroponie et d'\u00e9clairage \u00e0 DEL perfectionn\u00e9s et \u00e0 commande num\u00e9rique, devraient produire plus de 50 000 lbs d'herbes et de l\u00e9gumes de premi\u00e8re qualit\u00e9 par ann\u00e9e, soit \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s la production \u00e9quivalente d'une ferme traditionnelle de 50 acres. Cependant, contrairement \u00e0 l'agriculture plus typique, les plants \u00e0 racines carr\u00e9es ne contiennent pas d'OGM, sont sans pesticides et sont r\u00e9colt\u00e9s toute l'ann\u00e9e. Les cultures initiales comprendront le basilic, la ciboulette et la menthe. Les herbes seront vendues \u00e0 des clients locaux des services alimentaires \u00e0 Grand Rapids ainsi que dans tout le Michigan, le nord de l'Indiana et l'Ohio.<\/p>\n

Les entreprises ont soulign\u00e9 que cette premi\u00e8re installation agricole sert de mod\u00e8le, avec l'ambition de voir d'autres fermes int\u00e9rieures pr\u00e8s des centres de distribution de Service alimentaire Gordon au Canada et dans l'Est des \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n

Tobias Peggs, cofondateur et chef de la direction de Square Roots, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9: \u00abCe partenariat refl\u00e8te notre engagement commun \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des aliments locaux \u00e0 une \u00e9chelle qui servira les gens et les collectivit\u00e9s partout en Am\u00e9rique du Nord. Mais c'est aussi la mission de Square Roots d'habiliter la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de leaders de l'agriculture urbaine. Dans le cadre de notre Programme de formation des agriculteurs de la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration, nous formons les futurs agriculteurs \u00e0 tous les aspects des syst\u00e8mes alimentaires locaux, du semis aux rayonnages. Et avec chaque nouvelle ferme Square Roots, le Programme de formation des agriculteurs de la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration ouvre des portes \u00e0 un plus grand nombre de jeunes pour leur permettre de commencer une carri\u00e8re passionnante dans l'industrie agricole.\u00bb<\/p>\n

La nouvelle ferme est exploit\u00e9e par une cohorte d'agriculteurs de la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9s par Square Roots dans le cadre de leur programme unique de formation des agriculteurs de la prochaine g\u00e9n\u00e9ration (Next-Gen Farmer Training Program).<\/a>Cet engagement r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9, \u00e0 temps plein et d'une dur\u00e9e d'un an, a attir\u00e9 des milliers de candidats d\u00e9sireux d'\u00eatre des acteurs de changement \u00e0 l'avant-garde de l'agriculture urbaine et de contribuer au d\u00e9veloppement des produits locaux. Certains membres de l'\u00e9quipe viennent d'aussi loin que du Texas et de l'\u00c9tat de New York.<\/p>\n

Rich Wolowski a affirm\u00e9: \u00abNous sommes ravis d'\u00eatre le premier distributeur de services alimentaires \u00e0 accueillir une ferme urbaine, avec la possibilit\u00e9 d'apporter des produits frais et locaux \u00e0 nos clients toute l'ann\u00e9e. C'est un exemple important de notre volont\u00e9 d'innover pour mieux servir nos clients des services alimentaires et les clients de nos clients, tout en r\u00e9pondant \u00e0 la demande croissante d'aliments frais, nutritifs et locaux.\u00bb<\/p>\n
