Agriculture

Even though Laval is located at the very center of the metropolitan area of Montreal, a third of its territory remains in agricultural zone. Therefore it is still as of today an important business sector that vastly occupies Laval’s landscape, from growing flowers to vegetable cropping, as well as livestock farming and maple syrup production.

With several partners, CRE de Laval has carried out a valorization and transformation project of putrescible materials from Moisson Montréal, named Composting : From Earth to table, to compost for agricultural soils.
