Did you know canola was developed in the Canadian prairies (Manitoba and Saskatchewan)?

It got its name from an acronym for CANada Oil Low Acid. Canola is grown to produce oil. The oil is very healthy and can be used to make food but is also used to make other products.

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.
