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!
