Planning has begun for our next event in March 2012 in Downtown Winnipeg. Once again,we will be bringing the vibrant and innovative world of agriculture to Winnipeg’s meeting place,the historic Forks Market. Once upon a time most Canadians lived on farms. 100 years ago a farmer would produce enough food to feed 10 people. Now,a farmer can feed over 120 people. Urbanites buy most of their food from the store but can they link it back to the farm? Come visit us at Agriculture in the City – you can narrow the gap between the farm and your fork.
Discover what goes into making our food delicious, safe and sustainable…and so much more.
Kids can play interactive games and see where milk comes from and adults can meet local farmers, find new recipes or learn about food safety.
Agriculture isn’t only about food. So many everyday products have links to the farm, from car parts to medicine.
Find out what innovations are happening now, and how much we depend on a clean, healthy environment for our future.
Canada’s most vibrant industry is open for you to discover, March 16-18 at The Forks Market.
We look forward to seeing you at Discover Agriculture in the City in March 2012.
Check out our schedule of events (coming soon).
