Farming the Skyline - Re-Imagining Food Systems in Canada - GRIN BC.org How do we rethink expanding cities whilst also addressing food insecurity? We find alternatives through urban agriculture, and an obvious solution to these trends.

"How do we rethink expanding cities whilst also addressing food insecurity?" Urban agriculture is an obvious solution to these trends. Rooftop farming is equally obvious, given how underused the vast roofscape is. Please share!

Thanks to all who came along on our first tour of 2026! It was informative & fun; great storytelling from @lanefab.com & Julie McManus. Pouring rain highlighted the function of St. George Rainway:
🌊 #stormwater retention and detention
🪱 capture of polluted sediment
🌿 phytoremediation
🌸 #biodiversity

Looking forward!

Flower- and hover flies are the 2nd most important group of #pollinators after bees. They transfer pollen other flowers as they feed on nectar & pollen. While they may not be as efficient as bees in pollen volume, they compensate by making frequent visits to a wide range of plants.
