TOPSOIL - Innovative Urban Agriculture Inc. (Winner)

Sustainable Business Practices Award Winner

TOPSOIL - Innovative Urban Agriculture Inc.

Founded in 2015, TOPSOIL has created an innovative food-production business which utilizes non-arable land to grow food for restaurants and the surrounding community. Our business was built upon core environmental and social principles with an emphasis on growing the local economy. Our mission is to increase local food production by providing a fully integrated modular farming system that will empower people through production, employment and education.

At TOPSOIL, we grow thousands of pounds of high-quality fresh produce, each season, for a wide range of restaurants and 1,000s of community members. Growing food in cities allows us to by-pass the entire industrial produce supply chain and connect directly with our customers. We believe urban agriculture is an exciting opportunity to provide food that is better for people, better for the environment and just simply tastes better.
