, one of every three offices is empty – a local landlord has welcomed a tenant with a growing business: indoor farming.
Mr. Blackwell would not have handed over the fobs to just any indoor farmer: Agriplay convinced the landlord that his office space would be improved by growing large quantities of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and more. Unlike the handful of other indoor vertical farms around Calgary, “you don’t need industrial space – the market for which is tight across the country” – to grow Agriplay’s produce, he says.
