Vertical farming growing in popularity in Canada

 There is a crop of vertical agriculture facilities sprouting across Canada in 2022.

        Vertical agriculture allows food to be grown locally,quickly,24/7, year round with little to no impact from extreme weather events.

         LED grow lights,hydroponics and automated technology make indoor farming or vertical farming cheaper and commercially viable.

           Greens like arugula and kale traditionally grow in 45 to 60 days in open field farms.In vertical farming arugula and kale grow in 18 days from seed to package.

          But running an indoor plant factory comes with a lot of challenges;it requires a lot of electricity to power the lights,heaters and humidifiers 24/7.

            In Canada vertical farmers have so far been limited to growing fruits and vegetables,tomatoes and vine crops.Vertical farming often focuses on growing leafy greens.

            Food staples like rice,wheat and potatoes,grains,oils,proteins and carbohydrates are not grown by vertical farming.

Amazon rain forest

There are 16,000 tree species in the Amazon rain forest.

Do eagles eat the bones of their prey?

 Eagles get everything they need from the prey they consume.Typically,eagles eat the entire animal-the meat,bones,organs and even the fur or feathers. 

Lead poisoning

 Lead poisoning is the biggest threat to eagles.

            If an eagle ingests even a tiny fragment of lead,powerful stomach acids will break down the lead and release it into the bloodstream.The lead will then damage the nervous system and other organs,resulting in motor control problems and organ failure.

Sesame seeds make you poop

 Having a high oil content,sesame seeds are among the greatest constipation remedies out there.By moisturizing the gastrointestinal tract,they make passing a dry stool much easier.They are a great addition to various salads,while you can also grind them and use them for decoration or even seasoning.
