On my recent holiday trip to Eastern USA and Canada, stopping by many small towns and farms I noticed, that almost every farm or even smaller town house has several cords of stacked wood or in many other cases storages of woodchips or wood pallets ready to use for the winter. The ice storm that had hit the eastern parts of Canada in 1998 must have been a wake up call for many, as to regard the use of wood for their energy needs.

Vision:

Greenhouse Resource and Extension Assistance Team (GREAT) envisions the growth of an Alberta Greenhouse Crop Industry that is competitive and sustainable.
