Did you know Canada is one of the top potato producers in the world? And Manitoba is Canada's second-largest potato producer.

Potatoes are tubers -- the swelling of an underground stem that is packed with nutrients. They are rich in carbohydrates and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years. Growing potatoes takes care. Find out how Manitoba farmers use environmentally sustainable practices as their crop journeys from field to plate!

The Foundations of Manitoba Agriculture is a series of interactive courses and information sheets that invite you and your students to explore the different crops grown and animals raised in Manitoba.

Making the connection between food and where it comes from can lead to healthier eating choices and a better appreciation for agriculture and it's role in feeding the world.
