Cultiver l'espoir

Here, beets, carrots, cabbages and organic rutabagas grow like hotcakes. In 2017, eight young dropouts in social reintegration, supervised by professionals, made a record harvest on untapped agricultural lands west of the Island of Montreal: 120 tons! 55% of the crop goes to food banks to allow Montrealers with no access to fresh local vegetables. Root vegetables have not finished growing: by 2021, "Cutliver l'espoir" plans to offer 575 tonnes of vegetables to nearly 300,000 people!
