In this episode of The Haze, Peter sits down with Tanner Stewart, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Stewart Farms, an LP applicant building an organic indoor vertical aquaponics cannabis production facility. At Stewart farms they use aquaponic farming to grow cannabis naturally with fish and plants working together to create quality product. An impassioned believer that the quality of our agriculture will dictate the quality of our nutrition and natural medicines, Stewart has long been an advocate for, and entrepreneur in Canadian’s vertical farming and aquaponics industry.

A significant part of Tanner’s advocacy work over the last 4 years has been his role as executive producer of the documentary film “The Need To Grow”. Narrated by Rosario Dawson (Marvel’s The Defenders), “The Need To Grow” delivers an epic story of solutions and the incredible challenges faced by those implementing change. The film forces viewers to think differently about the food they eat and the system from which their food comes. The documentary is about enlightening consumers to the resilience and brilliance of those fighting to change the global food system.
From October 10th – 15th “The Need To Grow” is being shared with the world for free. Stewart explained that the rare opportunity to change the conversation around the global food system is so important that, “We are sharing this movie for free with the entire world because it is not about profits – it’s about feeding the world and protecting our future,” said Stewart. “This is a story about passion, resilience, courage and what it means to never let the fear of failure get in your way.”
