Thibault Sorret is a Chief of Staff at Canada-based sustainable agriculture and technology company Lufa Farms. Lufa Farms created the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in Montreal, Quebec in 2011, going on to build two others in 2013 and 2017. It is currently building a fourth, due for completion in March 2020, which will become the world’s largest rooftop farm. Here, Thibault explains how Lufa uses its hyper-local model as a way to engage consumers, and how it hopes to overcome some of the remaining hurdles to making food systems sustainable.
