How a mechanical engineer and computer scientist became urban farmers in Montreal

Urban farms are changing Canada’s food supply in new and interesting ways. If you live in Montreal, for example, and are looking for somewhere to buy pesticide-free arugula, you might choose to order some online via a direct-to-consumer marketplace.
