Imports to Canada• Canada imports 53% of all produce and almost 100% of
all fruits• Imports of vegetables are $2.83 billion per year• The average distance vegetables and fruit travel to
market is 4,497 km• In 15 years imports have risen 160% while the population
has risen 15%• Field cropland dropped 12% from 2009 to 2010• Small farms are disappearing at a fast rate• We may lose the ability to grow many of the foods we
eat• Canadian demand for fresh food is rising every year
Competition is drying up – this is the official new normal (NOAA) and not a cycle – next years are worse
Salad Greenhouse designed the Buzzard biomass generatorSupplies heat and electricityBurns all types of renewable fuelsPollution freeCarbon credits can pay for the fuelCan be used for community heating and electricity
Built 6 scale models: 5 in Alberta, 1 in B.C.: Proven technology
Scale model #1 1990: 10,000 sq.ft. Scale model # 6, 2011. 81 cm/32”In 20 days
Typical Range PerformanceThe following describes the expected operation of 2 ranges
growing produce for fresh food.
• Number of ranges 2• Market population 30,000• Area 5 - 10 acres• Direct employment 24• (not including construction or sales)• Gross annual sales 4 mill• Gross Profit Range (ebidta* ) 30 – 45%• Sustainable • Export markets worldwide for both greenhouses and biomass generators * (ebidta – earned before interest, depreciation, taxes, amortization)
Incomes are steady
• One crop a month keeps revenues up – in any climate or weather
• Jobs are steady, with no seasonal layoffs; our harvest staff is 4 times as productive as field workers
Development Strategy1. Build the first range2. Expand financing3. Domestic market: Expand the first project. Do
joint ventures coast to coast in Canada for affordable, healthy, year round produce
4. Offshore market: U.S., South America, and Asia5. Financing options: • License Agreement : SG receives royalty• Joint Venture Agreement: SG owns equity in project• Sole Ownership: SG owns project outright; public company may
be the option
The Business Case• 10 projects are ready to start• Sustainable communities in planning stage• Qualify for 30% BC provincial tax credit (EBC)• Supported by provincial and municipal gov’ts• 1,000,000 + customers for our plant juices• First in the world backed by trade secrets• Range productivity can be 4 times as high as field
agriculture
