Under the roof of Ligne Verte, a selection of vegetables is produced for domestic consumption in the Saint-Pierre et Miquelon archipelago. The facilities ensure that the vegetables can develop optimally with programmed light cycles and chemically enriched drip irrigation. Meanwhile, vertical panels support the entire production without the need for solid substrate. This pioneering initiative is able to produce fresh produce all year round in a self-sufficient way and independently of geological, light and weather conditions.
