Digital technologies are changing how food is produced. And it's more than harvesting robots that are arriving on the scene. Companies are now pairing data centers with greenhouses, capturing the heat emitted by computing hardware and reusing it to grow crops indoors.
The new QScale data center development in Lévis, Que. is one such project. The company claims that it will "produce 2,800 tons of small fruit and more than 80,000 tons of tomatoes per year" in greenhouses to be constructed adjacent to the facility.
