"In some cities, as many as one in four office spaces are vacant. Some start-ups are giving them a second life – as indoor farms growing crops as varied as kale, cucumber and herbs.

Since its 1967 construction, Canada's "Calgary Tower", a 190m (623ft) concrete-and-steel observation tower in Calgary, Alberta, has been home to an observation deck, panoramic restaurants and souvenir shops. Last year, it welcomed a different kind of business: a fully functioning indoor farm.

Sprawling across 6,000sq m (65,000 sq ft), the farm, which produces dozens of crops including strawberries, kale and cucumber, is a striking example of the search for city-grown food. But it's hardly alone. From Japan to Singapore to Dubai, vertical indoor farms – where crops can be grown in climate-controlled environments with hydroponics, aquaponics or aeroponics techniques – have been popping up around the world.

While indoor farming had been on the rise for years, a watershed moment came during the Covid-19 pandemic, when disruptions to the food supply chain underscored the need for local solutions. In 2021, $6bn (£4.8bn) in vertical farming deals were registered globally – the peak year for vertical farming investment. As the global economy entered its post-pandemic phase, some high-profile startups like Fifth Season went out of business, and others including Planted Detroit and AeroFarms running into a period of financial difficulty. Some commentators questioned whether a "vertical farming bubble" had popped.

But a new, post-pandemic trend may give the sector a boost. In countries including Canada and Australia, landlords are struggling to fill vacant office spaces as companies embrace remote and hybrid work. In the US, the office vacancy rate is more than 20%.

"Vertical farms may prove to be a cost-effective way to fill in vacant office buildings," says Warren Seay, Jr, a real estate finance partner in the Washington DC offices of US law firm ArentFox Schiff, who authored an article on urban farm reconversions.

There are other reasons for the interest in urban farms, too. Though supply chains have largely recovered post-Covid-19, other global shocks, including climate change, geopolitical turmoil and farmers' strikes, mean that they continue to be vulnerable – driving more cities to look for local food production options...

Thanks to artificial light and controlled temperatures, offices are proving surprisingly good environments for indoor agriculture, spurring some companies to convert part of their facilities into small farms. Since 2022, Australia's start-up Greenspace has worked with clients like Deloitte and Commonwealth Bank to turn "dead zones", like the space between lifts and meeting rooms, into 2m (6ft) tall hydroponic cabinets growing leafy greens.

On top of being adaptable to indoor farm operations, vacant office buildings offer the advantage of proximity to final consumers.

In a former paper storage warehouse in Arlington, about a mile outside of Washington DC, Jacqueline Potter and the team at Area 2 Farms are growing over 180 organic varieties of lettuce, greens, root vegetables, herbs and micro-greens. By serving consumers 10 miles away or less, the company has driven down transport costs and associated greenhouse emissions.

This also frees the team up to grow other types of food that can be hard to find elsewhere – such as edible flower species like buzz buttons and nasturtium. "Most crops are now selected to be grown because of their ability to withstand a 1,500-mile journey," Potter says, referring to the average distance covered by crops in the US before reaching customers. "In our farm, we can select crops for other properties like their nutritional value or taste."

Overall, vertical farms have the potential to outperform regular farms on several environmental sustainability metrics like water usage, says Evan Fraser, professor of geography at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada and the director of the Arell Food Institute, a research centre on sustainable food production. Most indoor farms report using a tiny fraction of the water that outdoor farms use. Indoor farms also report greater output per square mile than regular farms.

Energy use, however, is the "Achilles heel" of this sector, says Fraser: vertical farms need a lot of electricity to run lighting and ventilation systems, smart sensors and automated harvesting technologies. But if energy is sourced from renewable sources, they can outperform regular farms on this metric too, he says.

Because of variations in operational setup, it is hard to make a general assessment of the environmental, social and economic sustainability of indoor farms, says Jiangxiao Qiu, a landscape ecologist at the University of Florida and author of a study on urban agriculture's role in sustainability. Still, he agrees with Fraser: in general, urban indoor farms have higher crop yield per square foot, greater water and nutrient-use efficiency, better resistance to pests and shorter distance to market. Downsides include high energy use due to lighting, ventilation and air conditioning.

They face other challenges, too. As Seay notes, zoning laws often do not allow for agricultural activity within urban areas (although some cities like Arlington, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio, have recently updated zoning to allow indoor farms). And, for now, indoor farms have limited crop range. It is hard to produce staple crops like wheat, corn or rice indoors, says Fraser. Aside from leafy greens, most indoor facilities cannot yet produce other types of crops at scale.

But as long as the post-pandemic trends of remote work and corporate downsizing will last, indoor farms may keep popping up in cities around the world, Seay says.

"One thing cities dislike more than anything is unused spaces that don't drive economic growth," he says. "If indoor farm conversions in cities like Arlington prove successful, others may follow suit.""

Finding it a bit steamy this summer? You're not alone. Across Canada, people say they are really feeling the heat, especially in their homes. And we're tracking it. CBC teams have installed temperature and humidity sensors in dozens of homes in several cities, including Vancouver, to see just what happens to people when things go from hot to sizzling to seriously dangerous. This is one of those stories. Renters in British Columbia have received notices from landlords warning them against installing air conditioning units in their suites, or risk jeopardizing their tenancies. CBC News has spoken to tenants in multiple buildings under different management companies who have expressed frustration after landlords denied their requests to install air conditioning units, just weeks after the province announced a program to provide air conditioners to eligible British Columbians. In June, the government said it would provide 8,000 units to medically vulnerable low-income households over the next three years. In a related program, B.C. Hydro is offering residential customers $50 off the purchase of a qualifying air conditioner until July 28. [...]

Chinaphobia: If China Arms Russia, the U.S. Should Kill China’s Aircraft Industry😂😂😂

Beijing’s aerospace future is uniquely dependent on Western companies. U.S. and EU trade sanctions could bring its indigenous aviation sector to a halt.

— Foreign Policy | By Richard Aboulafia | March 20, 2023

A COMAC C919 narrow-body airliner on display during the 2021 China Aviation Industry Conference And Nanchang Air Show on October 30, 2021 in Nanchang, China. Li Tong/VCG Via Getty Images

As Chinese President Xi Jinping meets in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, the war in Ukraine will be high on the agenda. While the Chinese leader might pressure Russia to pursue a peace deal, there are also worries in Western capitals that the authoritarian allies could agree to work together more closely.

A Chinese decision to provide Russia with weapons would change the world. Only China has the stockpiles and industrial capacity to replace Russia’s ruinous equipment losses in its war against Ukraine. Worse, it would help cement a Russia–China alliance, one pitted against Western interests. U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have warned China’s leadership that providing lethal technologies to Russia, on top of the non-lethal aid already provided, would have serious consequences.

Indeed, the West does have some leverage. One option would be to bring China’s commercial aircraft industry to a halt, thereby striking a blow against Beijing’s economic, technological, and transport aspirations. It would be a major blow to Xi’s prestige, too, since he has made technological self-sufficiency a key priority for the country.

The aviation industry is not just a matter of pride; it is foundational to China’s infrastructure and an essential mode of transport for many middle-class Chinese. According to the World Bank, passenger air traffic in China grew more than tenfold between 2000 and the 2019 peak, from 62 million passengers to 660 million passengers.

The exponential growth in passenger numbers has made China a major customer for Western-made jets: based on manufacturer-reported numbers, in 2000, China took 2 percent of world jetliner production. In 2018, the peak year for imports, it took 23 percent of world jetliner production.

The United States and its allies have already decided to decouple from China when it comes to semiconductors and telecommunications systems. Jetliner manufacturing would be a logical next step. After all, China’s vaunted commercial transports—the MA700 regional turboprop transport, ARJ21 regional jet, C919 narrow-body passenger plane, and proposed CR929 wide-body are heavily dependent upon imported Western technologies and systems.

While China wants to develop home-grown substitutes for these imported components, ultimately creating purely Chinese jets, this will be a very long road. Besides, modern jet producers rely on purchases of best-in-class technologies from a globalized industry; autarky is a very bad way to run a jetliner industry. Even the U.S. jetliner industry has long been wedded to industrial partners in Canada, France, Japan, the U.K., and many other countries.

“Engines are the Weakest Link in China’s Civil Aviation Plans.”

Engines are the weakest link in China’s civil aviation plans. Airframes and aircraft systems and technologies may be difficult to develop, but jet engines are at a completely different level in terms of barriers to entry. In fact, only three companies, located in two countries (General Electric (GE) and Raytheon/Pratt & Whitney in the United States and Rolls-Royce in the U.K.) build commercial jet engines. France’s Safran plays a role as a partner to GE in the CFM joint venture, but otherwise there are no other sourcing options.

Russia could not become a jet engine supplier option for China. The Soviet Union had a second-rate commercial engine industry for mostly domestic applications, but Russia’s efforts to revive it have been uncertain and very slow. Today, Russia remains completely dependent on Western aircraft and engines; it has only been able to keep its existing aircraft flying by illegally evading sanctions.

Only tiny numbers of obsolete Russian models have been manufactured over the last few decades. There are plans for new engines, but international sanctions, massive corruption, and the brain drain of the last year have likely doomed whatever chances Russia’s commercial aviation engine industry once had. Besides, the priority is now military systems.

As a consequence of the limited number of jet engine suppliers, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China’s (COMAC) ARJ21 regional jet and C919 are both powered by GE or GE/Safran engines, imported from the United States. For the ARJ21, there is no backup plan to GE’s CF34 engine.

For the C919, China is developing its CJ-1000A engine as an alternative to the GE/Safran Leap-1C, but it won’t enter service until the end of the decade. And the CJ-1000A is also heavily dependent upon key imported Western technologies. Like China’s jetliners, China’s first attempt at a commercial engine could easily be shut down with technology embargoes.

Killing the current CJ-1000 project would bring China back to the jet engine drawing board. Predictably, the Chinese government has been trying to develop its own engine industry independent of imported components, a process involving intellectual property theft and other desperate measures.

But again, the track record of commercial jet engine development outside the United States and U.K. is not encouraging. And as with aircraft, the big three engine suppliers would never think of building engines without relying on suppliers outside their home countries.

With or without Western sanctions, a best-case scenario for China’s aerospace aspirations is a second-rate, home-grown engine available in the mid 2030s. These would power Chinese jetliners which, relative to Western models, would offer lower reliability, higher fuel burn and operating costs, and uncertain product support.

The legal structure for jetliner decoupling is already in place. COMAC’s key parent companies are on the U.S. Military End User (MEU) List, which essentially prohibits technology exports to entities that “represent an unacceptable risk of use in or diversion to a ‘military end use’” in China and other countries.

The MEU List’s application to aerospace exports to China is somewhat opaque, perhaps deliberately. All of China’s thousands of Western jets use U.S. technology. While its parent companies are on the MEU List, COMAC itself is not. But clarifying the situation, by putting COMAC directly on the MEU List, would be a very simple—and economically devastating—move.

China’s MA700 aircraft provides a useful example of how jetliner decoupling would unfold. In September 2021, Canada—in conjunction with the United States—suddenly denied export licenses for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW150 engine used on this 70-seat airliner. This meant that China’s national 70-seat regional turboprop transport, in development since 2007, was dead in its tracks.

Since then, the MA700 has effectively been airbrushed out of China’s aviation plans, like a disgraced Politburo member erased from Soviet documents. A prototype might have flown sometime last year, possibly with a few engines that had already been imported, but right now this aircraft has no future without access to new production engines.

“Jetliner decoupling, For the Most Part, Would Only Hurt China’s Aviation Industry, Not the West’s.”

A Western decision to starve COMAC of the components needed for its larger jetliners would be deeply embarrassing for China. China’s efforts to build a commercial aviation industry have had little success since they began in the 1970s with the failed Y-10 program.

But since COMAC’s ARJ21 program began in 2002, the government has devoted prodigious resources to the industry’s development. Sash Tusa, an aerospace and defense analyst at Agency Partners, estimated that China had spent at least $67 billion on its jetliner programs over the last 20 years. Tens of thousands of workers are employed in an industry that has figuratively and literally failed to get off the ground.

Killing these programs would represent more than just billions in sunk costs (and probably unemployed workers). It would also mean that China would have no choice but to keep importing Western jets from Airbus and Boeing. The Russian jetliner industry, long dormant but seeking revival, has been hobbled by sanctions and corruption, and doesn’t appear able to build jetliners for internal use, let alone export.

And it isn’t as though China can directly retaliate. Chinese industry plays a negligible role in Western jet-makers’ supply chains (although it does play a more significant role in maintenance, repair, and overhaul work; and in global jetliner finance). Jetliner decoupling, for the most part, would only hurt China’s aviation industry, not the West’s.

Therefore, Chinese officials would face a day of reckoning. The autarkic Made in China 2025 policies espoused by Xi would be exposed as extremely limited, or even a complete fantasy. China would have a simple choice: rethink selling weapons to Russia or admit that plans for a self-reliant national aviation industry are untenable, at least for the next 12 to 15 years.

Of course, if China then doubles down on arming Russia, there would also be the option of sanctioning China’s existing jetliner fleet, which is almost completely Western-made and therefore dependent on a steady stream of spare parts. Chinese aviation’s rapid growth would be replaced with steady capacity decline.

The loss of this key growth market would be very bad news for the entire global aviation industry, but it would also gravely damage China’s economy. An unreliable air transport system, impaired by sanctions, would mean that China, like Russia, would wind up like Iran—dependent on an aging fleet of existing jets, with highly uncertain levels of sustainability and safety.

Aviation decoupling between the West and China is neither inevitable nor desirable. However, the prospect of Russia rearming itself with Chinese weapons, and the two countries allied together against open societies, is worse. The threat of crippling China’s jetliner industry would be a strong weapon for preventing that outcome.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

TINY HOME BUILDER CREATES LEGAL TINY HOMES AS HOUSING CRISIS CONTINUES TO LOOM

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 (GIBSONS, BC): A Sunshine Coast tiny home designer and builder is paving the way for the implementation of tiny homes as a means for suitable and affordable housing in Canada. At present, these homes are typically built to recreation vehicle standards that are considered by regional districts as seasonal use only, limiting where they can be placed and how long they can be occupied. Sunshine Tiny Homes, led by Founder, Owner, and Operator Pam Robertson, aims to support those affected by the housing crisis by working with local law makers to alleviate bylaws and restraints for zoning so that tiny homes can be used as full-time residences.

“We build innovative solutions to some of the biggest economic, environmental and social challenges today,” says Pam Robertson. “We see tiny homes as a step toward financial freedom, minimalist lifestyles and smaller carbon footprint living.”

Most recently, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has removed the building width requirement, which allows for tiny homes to be places most anywhere. Sunshine Tiny Home ‘Solaris’ model can be placed as a primary permanently occupied dwelling wherever zoning allows manufactured homes. They can also be placed on raw land, for use as a secondary home, or as an auxiliary unit for additional use for a household.

By purchasing a manufactured tiny home, the task of meeting regulations is simplified. Manufactured Z240 MH tiny home models can differ, so it’s important to not only research which model best suits you, but to know and understand bylaws and restrictions where you want to live. Tiny homes currently fall into an uncertain regulatory landscape, and advocates like Pam from Sunshine Tiny Homes are working to develop global standards that will allow consumers to confidently buy, build and live in tiny homes.

Says Pam, “Knowing about site preparation, foundation and anchorage is fundamental. Permits are required along with a healthy dose of preparation and planning. When you build with us, we assist you through the necessary steps to ensure the landing of your tiny, manufactured home meets municipal requirements.”

Halifax-area wildfire 50 per cent contained as crews deal with record heat in forecast

A wildfire that began burning in the Upper Tantallon, N.S., area Sunday and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents is now 50 per cent contained.

David Steeves, a forest resources technician with the province’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables, said Thursday morning the size of the fire has also not grown -- and remains at 837 hectares.

While the update is good news, Steeves stressed it is still a “dangerous and volatile” situation.

"We are far from being out of the woods. Just because we have a level of percentage of containment does not mean the decrease and the importance of safety in this situation has lowered."

Temperatures are expected to reach the high 20s and low 30s for much of the Maritimes Thursday, and Steeves said crews are likely to deal with spot fires are flare-ups during that time.

"If we can get past this period, we have some precipitation on the way that we're looking forward to, so our fingers are crossed that we're going to receive that precipitation and help us a little bit. We need Mother Nature to get on side with us,” he said.

Halifax Fire deputy chief David Meldrum said the rain is only one variable at play in the decision to allow people to return to their homes.

Residents of the Indigo Shores area were allowed back to their homes Wednesday night after an evacuation order was rescinded.

“We will open more,” Meldrum said. “But we will do it in a controlled manner, and in a manner that ensures the safety of our residents.”

Meldrum added fire officials have completed their audit of the damaged and destroyed buildings in the Tantallon area, though he did not have exact numbers Thursday morning.

He also stressed the importance of residents registering with 311 so municipal staff can get in contact with them with information about their homes.

TRANSIT ROUTES

The HRM says the following Halifax Transit routes continue to be affected Thursday:

Route 330 will start and end at Sheldrake Lake -- 3826 St Margarets Bay Rd. There will be no service to the Tantallon Park and Ride located at 3664 Hammonds Plains Rd.

Route 433 will start and end at the West Bedford Park and Ride located at 120 Innovation Dr. There will be no service on Hammonds Plains Road from Gary Martin Drive to Tantallon Park and Ride.

Route 83/183 will end on Crossfield Ridge in Middle Sackville, N.S. The HRM says the bus will then turn right on Sackville Drive and right onto Melham Drive. Routes 83/183 will hold on Melham Drive before departing, heading back to the Sackville Transit Terminal at 7 Walker Ave.

FIRE WEBPAGE

The Nova Scotia government continues to update its new webpage with the latest emergency alerts and resource information about wildfires in the province.

Top Radio Sponsorship Packages in Canada: Boost Your Brand Today

Radio advertising continues to be a powerful and effective medium for brands looking to connect with their target audience. In Canada, the demand for well-crafted radio sponsorship packages has grown significantly, offering businesses an excellent opportunity to boost their brand visibility. This blog explores why radio sponsorship is essential for businesses, the benefits it offers, and how partnering with the right radio advertising company can amplify your marketing efforts.

Why Choose Radio Sponsorship?

Radio remains a trusted medium that reaches diverse audiences across various demographics. Unlike digital ads that often struggle with ad blockers or fleeting attention spans, radio advertisements seamlessly integrate into daily routines. Whether listeners tune in during their morning commute or while relaxing at home, they engage with content in an immersive way, making it an excellent platform for businesses to promote their brand.

With sponsorship packages tailored to specific needs, businesses can gain consistent exposure and connect with potential customers at the right time. Sponsoring segments like traffic updates, news breaks, or music hours ensures that your brand message is heard loud and clear.

Benefits of Radio Sponsorship Packages

1. Targeted Reach Radio sponsorships allow businesses to select stations and time slots that align with their audience profile. For instance, a Vancouver-based business can focus on Vancouver radio channels to connect directly with the local community.

2. Cost-Effective Advertising Compared to other traditional advertising platforms, radio sponsorship is highly cost-effective. It allows for maximum impact within a defined budget, making it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized businesses.

3. Brand Association with Trusted Media When you sponsor a popular radio show or event, your brand gains instant credibility. Listeners associate your business with the trust and reputation of the station or program, which helps build loyalty and recognition.

4. Emotional Connection with Listeners Radio has a unique ability to create an emotional bond with its audience. By using the right tone and messaging, brands can evoke emotions that resonate deeply with listeners, fostering long-term connections.

Choosing the Right Radio Advertising Company

Selecting the right radio advertising company in Canada is crucial to achieving success in your sponsorship campaigns. A reliable agency will offer tailored solutions, help you identify your target audience, and ensure your ads are placed on channels that align with your brand goals.

Moreover, an experienced radio advertising company will guide you in creating compelling content that captures attention and delivers your message effectively. They will also handle negotiations with radio stations, ensuring that you receive the best value for your investment.

Why Vancouver Radio is a Prime Choice

For businesses targeting the West Coast, Vancouver radio stations provide an incredible opportunity to reach a vibrant and diverse audience. Vancouver's population includes a mix of young professionals, families, and retirees, making it a dynamic market for various industries.

Sponsorship opportunities on Vancouver radio often include popular morning shows, event promotions, and specialized segments that cater to niche interests. By leveraging these options, businesses can establish a strong presence in one of Canada's most dynamic cities.

Types of Sponsorship Packages

Radio sponsorship packages are versatile and can be customized to suit your brand's unique needs. Here are some common types of sponsorships:

Segment Sponsorships: Sponsor specific programs such as weather updates, sports news, or music blocks.

Event Sponsorships: Partner with stations during live events, concerts, or charity drives to gain on-ground and on-air visibility.

Exclusive Hour Sponsorships: Gain exclusive rights to a specific time slot for maximum exposure.

Contest Sponsorships: Engage listeners by sponsoring giveaways or contests, fostering a fun association with your brand.

Crafting Compelling Radio Ads

Creating impactful radio ads requires careful planning and execution. Here are some tips for crafting memorable ads:

Focus on a Clear Message: Keep your message concise and to the point. Highlight the key benefits of your product or service.

Use a Strong Call-to-Action: Encourage listeners to take immediate action, whether it's visiting your website, making a purchase, or attending an event.

Incorporate Storytelling: Stories create an emotional connection and make ads more relatable and engaging.

Leverage Voice and Sound: Use professional voiceovers, catchy jingles, and sound effects to make your ad stand out.

How Radio Sponsorship Boosts ROI

Increased Brand Awareness: Frequent exposure ensures that your brand stays top-of-mind among listeners.

Enhanced Engagement: Engaging ads and sponsorships foster a deeper connection with your audience.

Higher Conversion Rates: Targeted campaigns lead to better engagement and higher sales conversions.
