Chris Chapman

North-45 Advisory Services
Chief Operating Officer


North-45 Advisory Services is leading the expansion of The Growcer Inc.’s controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) systems into the Caribbean region to bolster regional food security through climate-resilient technology.

Growcer, a Canadian innovator in modular vertical farming, has proven its model in the most extreme climates. Its turnkey hydroponic systems (the Osiris® farm) deliver year-round, high-yield production regardless of external conditions, making them an ideal solution for Caribbean nations facing weather volatility, limited arable land, and food import dependence.

As climate change intensifies—with rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and frequent storms—the need for climate-resilient agricultural solutions is more urgent than ever. CEA systems offer more than stability: they strengthen local food systems, improve public health, support economic development, while cultivating agri-tech entrepreneurship.

Chris brings to this mission a proven track record as an experienced operator and “change agent”. North-45 specialize in scaling cleantech ventures through global partnerships in the areas of food, water, power, housing and healthcare. North-45 combines practical operating experience in global organizations with broad and deep global relationships to unlock practical innovations that are tailor-made for Caribbean opportunities.
