Agricultural operation in Industrial Zones. Is it allowed?

I am thinking a warehouse type building which, if I'm not mistaken, is considered a light industrial zone, to be used for biointensive crop production, preferably in Toronto (GTA) or nearby areas.

Do I need special permits for this purpose? Or can I just go and open up shop?

Thanks

I just want to know in general what, if any, special permits are required for crop cultivation that is NOT on designated agricultural zones, specifically in industrial zones in city proper.
