Federal Conservative Associate Ag Critic John Barlow is seeing first hand the effect Canadian agriculture producers are having across the world.
Barlow is touring the works of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in Guatemala this week.
Through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, farmers across Canada contribute portions of their crops to fund global initiatives to end world hunger.
"A lot of the growing agricultural industry here (Guatemala) is using methods and seed from Canadian contributors," Barlow says. "We're going to be touring around some of those areas seeing how they're implementing the knowledge and resources from Canada to try and build their agriculture community here."
There are over 200 Canadian Foodgrains Bank growing projects in Canada.
