\\nThis month, on Produce Talks, we turn our attention to a project aimed at addressing food security issues in northern communities.  Glenn Scott, from Agriartic, joins us to discuss the Agridome, a controlled environment growing facility that is operating year round in Whitehorse, Yukon.  Currently, Glenn is conducting a feasibility study supported by Yukon Research Centre \\u2013 Cold Climate Innovations, Yukon Agriculture, HydeAway Domes and d\\xe4na N\\xe4ye Ventures to determine the viability of commercial production facilities throughout the north.

\\nWith a consistent drive to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables it\\u2019s easy to see why projects like this one are intriguing, but what impact can this have on the capacity of communities in the north to grow their own fruits and vegetables year round?   Glenn shares with us the origin of the project, how it all came together and his our look on the future of year-round northern agriculture.
