I live in a small Canadian village that imports most of it’s leafy greens from the US. They’re neither fresh nor cheap, and with Trump’s new tariffs, people might be willing to consider alternatives.
Here is an idea for a turn-key hydroponic operation I feel could be implemented where I live: https://www.thegrowcer.ca/featured-farmers/filling-a-community-need-valemount-learning-society
I’m looking for advice on structuring/education/outreach for building a new community organization around this idea while ensuring the organization is and remains thoroughly communist.
To start something like this:
Do you have the knowledge/skills to operate it yourself? Or maybe a supporter(s) that does?
When you can answer yes, and show that it works, you can start looking for others in the community to join in, with the specific goal of starting a co-op.
It is likely easier to get money as a sole proprietor first, and then once everything else is sorted (by laws for example) and you have been operating successfully, you can convert to a co-op.
You could contact any co-operative in canada for help, or search “start a co-op canada” and likely find good information.
