Lufa Farms
At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to change the way people eat by growing food where people live and growing it more sustainably. To accomplish this, we built the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011, four more greenhouses since (built in 2013, 2017, 2020, and 2024), and an indoor farm completed in 2023. With each new urban farm, we hold ourselves to an ever-higher standard of sustainability and technical ingenuity, growing dozens of vegetables, greens, and herbs hydroponically. All of our greenhouses run following our five principles of responsible agriculture: repurposing unused spaces, recirculating water, conserving energy, reducing waste, and using biocontrols instead of synthetic pesticides. We also partner with local farmers and food makers to provide our customers with hundreds of products through our online Marketplace. Every week, we assemble 30,000 customized baskets filled with fresh, local, responsible food and deliver them to our network of pick-up points across Quebec, or straight to customers’ doors. As we grow we aim to continue developing an economically and ecologically sustainable model of food production.
Open to all students, undergraduate and graduate, that are graduating this year (we have several departments and hire for junior roles)
