Environmental Impact
Regenerating Systems, Not Just Sustaining Them
Canadian ROOTS Farms™ is part of the climate solution. Every gigafarm we build helps reverse degradation, reduce emissions, and regenerate life systems. Our model isn’t just low-impact—it’s positive-impact.
We measure our success by how well we restore the land, water, air, and biodiversity around us.
Our Environmental Commitments
💧 90% Less Water Use
Our precision hydroponics and recirculation systems use a fraction of the water required in conventional agriculture—without runoff, contamination, or waste.
🌱 97% Less Land Required
We produce more food per square foot than any field-based system, preserving arable land and reducing urban sprawl pressure.
🌍 Near-Zero Pesticides
Controlled environments mean we don’t need to apply harmful chemicals, protecting pollinators, waterways, and human health.
⚡️ Clean Energy Infrastructure
We aim to power each gigafarm with a renewable mix (solar, CHP, BESS), supported by long-tenor clean PPAs and smart-grid optimization.
🦠 Soil-Free, Soil-Respecting
While our farms use high-efficiency soilless systems, we maintain active R&D on soil health, plant-microbe interactions, and organic residues to support regenerative outcomes.
Measurable Impact at Scale
Each 100M-plant gigafarm offsets:
- ~11,000 metric tons CO₂e annually (estimated)
- Over 200,000 litres of water per day
- Thousands of food transport truck-miles per year
