Lufa Farms: How to Grow Food on Top of a City

It’s an idea so simple it could come from a five-year-old. 

At least that’s how Lufa Farms founder, Mohamed Hage, refers to their idea of turning idle rooftops into working greenhouses. But the real story - and this conversation - is about what it takes to build it, and what becomes possible once you do.

In Montreal, Lufa has become a household name for its rooftop farms, local food delivery, and hunger relief work - and that’s just the beginning.

Alongside Mo, we’re joined by Dave Furneaux, a seasoned investor and builder, to talk about their friendship, what makes the “soul” of a business, and why the risks of doing something transformative are worth it.
