Recover useful heat for greenhouses, vertical farms, hydroponics, aquaponics and seedling facilities.
Home / Food Resilience
Crunch and Munch TorontoTurn data-centre heat into year-round food and community value.
Artificial intelligence requires computing infrastructure. Computing produces heat. Toronto should recover that energy rather than waste it while families face rising food costs and supply uncertainty.
A food-security strategy
An entire city eats for generations.
A distributed network of greenhouses and automated farms can complement Ontario agriculture, strengthen local production and create training, research and business opportunity.
Robotics with human governance
Use automation for repetitive planting, monitoring, sorting and harvesting while people remain responsible for safety and quality.
Skills and research
Connect colleges, universities, food research, agricultural technology and new employment pathways.
Neighbourhood resilience
Support hospitals, long-term-care facilities, community hubs, food terminals and new housing communities.
Jamie Atkinson has prepared a complete, fully costed 50-year plan for Toronto. Additional policy details will be published throughout the campaign.
