Our Roots

SucSeed, a social enterprise and Certified B Corporation from St. John's, NL, has grown significantly since winning the Enactus World Cup in 2016 as a student-led project created by Enactus Memorial. Since transitioning out of Enactus, Emily Bland and Andrea Peet have grown the organization to work with 2,500 classrooms across Canada, educating over 60,000 youth per year and working in over 100 northern and rural communities across Canada. Through a partnership with Choices for Youth, SucSeed provides employment opportunities to at-risk youth to build hydroponic gardens that are used to empower people to grow their own produce and learn about sustainable agriculture. In January 2024, SucSeed launched the SucSeed Foundation, a registered charity, to further its mission of promoting sustainable education for youth.

Since 2019, SucSeed has focused on the education sector, forming partnerships with educational departments and school boards across Canada. The pandemic led to the creation of the Sustainable Superheroes program, integrating UN Sustainable Development Goals into classroom learning. Partnerships with Lomi and the Ulnooweg Foundation have expanded the program's reach, distributing gardens and educational resources across Canada. With over 2,500 gardens in classrooms and several educational books published, SucSeed is now targeting international markets to further its mission of sustainable education and innovation.
