The development of greenhouse projects has seen unprecedented growth in the northern regions of Quebec (Société du Plan Nord, 2021). The Nordic Laboratory project emerged from the desire to conduct research that addresses the challenges faced by northern communities in designing, implementing, and sustaining their agri-food initiatives. This collaboration began with projects to develop or improve greenhouse projects in the
communities of Kuujjuaq, Radisson, and Matagami, with researchers from the Centre for Social Innovation in Agriculture (CISA) at the Cégep de Victoriaville and the École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS).
These collaborations led to the design of the Nordic Laboratory prototype project (April 2022-March 2024), coordinated by CISA, in partnership with Centre d’expertise et de technologie en agriculture biologique et de proximité (CETAB+) and ÉTS, as well as about twenty partners in the regions of Northern Quebec and the Côte-Nord region (North Shore) of Quebec.
