VANCOUVER, BC, May 4, 2021 /CNW/ - The winners of Fast Company's 2021 World Changing Idea Awards were announced today, and CubicFarm® Systems Corp. (TSXV: CUB) ("CubicFarms" or the "Company"), a local chain agricultural technology company, received an honorable mention in the Best World Changing Idea – North America category.
Fast Company's 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards honors the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises, social injustice, or economic inequality.
Fast Company recognized the Company's two main technologies, the CubicFarm System for growing fresh produce and the HydroGreen Grow System for growing fresh livestock feed consistently and profitably in any climate, 365 days a year.
