Abstract

This article discusses the efforts of Dong Jianyi, a farmer in central Alberta, to grow heritage varieties of tomatoes and other vegetables in a passive solar greenhouse. Jianyi's greenhouse relies solely on solar energy to create optimal growing conditions, allowing him to cultivate vegetables year-round in a cold climate. The article also highlights the political and cultural characteristics of the Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills constituency in Alberta, as well as the innovative agricultural practices and cultural centers in the area. MLA Nathan Cooper emphasizes the importance of keeping rural Alberta vital and vibrant for future generations, while also addressing challenges such as intergenerational farm transfers and the need for technological innovation in farming.
