How can CEHort serve you and bring cultivation ideas into reality?

Custom Design Services

After doing the math to determine project feasibility, the next step or service available is to design the system. What mechanisms should be used to maximize plant outputs? How to develop the irrigation system around that? How many zones would exist? What are the water and power needs? How much room is needed for operations? Is processing and harvesting inside the cultivation facility or outside? What are the logistics and food safety considerations in handling the produce harvested for client sale?

Construction of Turn-Key Facilities

The main business of CEHort is to look at the whole, identify the variables for consideration and integration, then produce a full solution that will bring the project to operational function at maximum efficiency and optimization, within capital costs and investment, offset by cultivation profit potential and ROI.

Cultivation Consulting

Utilizing the proprietary calculators designed to optimize cultivation, CEHort works with clients contemplating the integration of cultivation systems for food production. The templates exist to produce the business plans, risk assessments, and feasibility analysis of your project concepts. This is the first step in attracting and securing investment to make the cultivation project a reality.

Education

A special passion exists to teach the children about their relationship to plants and healthy human being. But outside the children, are the parents working hard to pay for the food and meals. What do we eat? Where do we get that stuff to eat? Why do we eat that? How is that produce cultivated and prepared to eat? For almost 40 years, a direct connection has been made between the two ingestions that makes for a healthy human. CEHort offers speaking engagements to discuss our relationship to plants and healthy human being.

Retrofit Commercial Spaces

How much commercial real estate is sitting idle not generating revenues? Food swamps and deserts could be remedied in depressed cities or areas by introducing food production systems into these unused commercial properties.

Post Secondary Institutions

These higher education organizations are highly competitive. This future workforce primarily undertakes debt to find career employment to ask, why attend this post-secondary? The research potentials around plant photochemistry, soils, hydrology, food safety, food production automation, and the environment are substantial to increase enrolment appeal. Future industry includes growth rates around food production and food security.

Schools, K - 12

There is a growing trend to introduce cultivation into the schools. The idea is to get children connected to the life that gives life. So many of our children have no idea where their food comes from. Many are influenced by social media and mainstream advertising to encourage unhealthy processed "stuff". By introducing cultivation into the schools, it dramatically improves curriculum learning through a hands-on approach to grow what they can produce for their school lunch and meal programs. This also finds its way back into the homes to build a healthier family through more quality healthy ingestions.

City and Municipal Applications

Cities have an incredible opportunity to engage all community stakeholders feed the community population. The idea is to work with mayors, city councillors, chambers and industry to be innovative amidst a world of change. The entire community can benefit. It can be shared for school hands-on curriculum teachings. It can be used by post-secondary institutions for departmental research. It could be used by food service providers for their school lunch applications. Caterers could rent attached culinary kitchens. Communities to learn about food and healthier eating. Retailers could secure direct from the source increasing profits and margins with a better quality product.

Urban Planning and Community Development

Urban gardens and urban agriculture systems are finding greater favour in communities. As new developments are conceptualized to attract the new generations of families into communities, developers will look to innovations to attract home buyers into these urban or sub-urban areas. Imagine a cultivation facility that could feed this entire community.

Sports Franchises and Professional Athletes

Athletes require improved nutrition for advanced performance. A conversation with a professional sports franchise chef and head nutritionist suggested this as a potential future integration that made a lot of sense. This could offer an advantage in energy and recovery for improved performance.

Taking a look at the bigger picture of a nation's (food) security, there is a tremendous opportunity for Canada to lead the world in providing for a healthier population and stronger nation. CEHort would like to be part of the solution of food self-reliance for Canada and Canadians.

By engaging Canadians, Canadian businesses, Canadian entrepreneurs, Canadian athletes, Canadian educational institutions, and the Canadian government led by the peers elected for your security and health representation, WE, can unite to do something truly special that will make the world take notice. We do need to act swiftly.

IF Canadians can unite under a food security patriotism where we are all stakeholders, we will be a nation capable of a food security system of better healthier food through regional and local production systems that benefit all Canadians in health and opportunity.

Indigenous Nations and Reservations

How many reservations could use an improvement in water, housing, and opportunities. Bringing cultivation to the nations offers an opportunity to produce employments for the community to produce the food that feeds their families while selling to existing food service providers or retailers. Innovation could solve many problems by incorporating food security models where they are needed most.
