The Strong Farm & Rural Shores (SFRS) Initiative is a program designed to support rural, remote, and waterside communities through tourism-driven economic development and agriculture-focused innovation. It aims to foster sustainability, resilience, and collaboration by integrating regenerative tourism, ag-tech solutions, climate adaptation strategies, and workforce development initiatives.

​

The SFRS Initiative is evolving into a federally incorporated not-for-profit and is developing projects like the SFRS Beyond the Stars - Arctic Prototype, a CEA-based solution for food security in northern communities, as well as SFRS Food Fest, an immersive gastronomy experience promoting cultural and economic exchange.
