*4.2. Production Using Ecological Techniques*

Lufa Farms uses a number of technologies for the construction of its greenhouses, the management of the company and the production of food. Firstly, it opts for biological management techniques for its production, recreating a balanced ecosystem of harmful and beneficial insects. Secondly, some greenhouses recover rainwater, which is then used in a closed circuit. Further, it applies various energy optimization techniques, including the recovery of heat loss from buildings located under the greenhouses. Finally, Lufa makes sure to reduce its waste by limiting its losses and by composting its green waste. While

Le Grenier boréal, for its part, was pest-free for the first few years of operation, this is no longer the case. Additionally, the enterprise uses natural products, in keeping with the principles of organic agriculture.
