About 5N2 Farms
5N2 is doing what no other Canadian food support small charity has done before — growing produce using a hydroponic farm system to be self-sustainable.
Founded in 2013 by Seema David, 5N2 has been actively fighting food insecurity in Scarborough over the past decade. Today, 5N2 is on the path of revolutionizing the future of the small charity sector, having added an innovative hyper-local agriculture cultivation system. With two hydroponic farms currently stationed on-site, the farms are now up and running!
Unlike traditional farming, crops are soil-less and rely on nutrient-rich water and lights in a controlled environment agriculture (CEA). This closed system allows optimal conditions to be maintained year-round, unaffected by the vagaries of the external environment.
Seema envisions that this farming system will not only create a stable means of fresh greens for their free meal programs but also create a revenue stream propelling 5N2 onto a path of self-sustainability.
