Our Roots: Growing Solutions in a Changing World
Cangro AgriFoods Inc. was founded with one clear mission: to provide fresh, diverse, and sustainable food to communities in need. As the world continues to face the effects of climate change, it’s becoming harder for people to access the food they depend on. More and more, we see supply chain issues limiting the variety and availability of fresh produce. Families can no longer rely on grocery stores to offer the foods they grew up with—the foods that connect them to their culture, their heritage, and their homes.
We saw this problem firsthand. The disconnect between what people need and what is available in stores is only growing. Whether it’s due to rising costs, food shortages, or environmental factors, we realized that the global food system is fragile. And for those who rely on fresh, diverse produce from different parts of the world, this can be especially devastating.
At Cangro AgriFoods, we believe in a different future—one where fresh, healthy, and culturally important food is available to all, no matter where they live.
The Cangro Solution.
Empowering Farmpreneurs and Communities
Part of our global vision is to create a network of 'farmpreneurs', individuals who are passionate about growing food sustainably and want to turn that passion into a business. Through our partnerships and training programs, we are equipping communities with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in the agri-food industry. Whether through personal gardens, community projects, or large-scale commercial operations, we are empowering the next generation of agricultural entrepreneurs.
Collaborating with Grassroots Organizations for Local Impact
Our journey begins at the grassroots level, where real change happens. We are proud to partner with local grassroots organizations, charities, and community groups to bring our hydroponic systems and sustainable agriculture programs directly to the people who need them most. These partnerships allow us to work on the ground, creating localized solutions that empower communities to grow their own food, reduce dependency on long supply chains, and build more resilient food systems.
By working with grassroots organizations, we ensure that our solutions are adaptable, inclusive, and accessible to all, whether in urban environments, underserved areas, or rural communities. We believe that food security begins with empowering people at the local level, and these partnerships are crucial to achieving our vision of a more sustainable future.
Research Collaborations with Leading Institutions
In addition to our grassroots work, we are investing in research collaborations with top academic institutions to further innovate and refine our solutions. We are currently working with the University of Detroit Mercy, Tech Town, student groups at the University of Windsor, and more, on groundbreaking research in hydroponics, vertical farming, and climate-resilient food systems. These partnerships are helping us explore new frontiers in sustainable agriculture and food production, ensuring that our solutions are effective in addressing both current and future challenges.
Through this research, we are constantly improving our hydroponic systems, making them more efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable to different environments and climates. This collaboration is key to advancing our mission and expanding the impact of our work on a global scale.
Engaging Local Charities and Community Organizations
Beyond research, we are also working closely with local charities and community organizations to ensure that our technology reaches those who need it the most. By partnering with these organizations, we are able to set up community gardens, provide training, and implement sustainable farming practices that help individuals and families grow their own fresh, nutritious food. Our work with these groups has allowed us to engage with underserved populations, seniors, and schools, providing them with the tools and knowledge to cultivate food security at the grassroots level.
