Marc Zienkiewicz - Seed World Canada Senior Editor

Marc spent a decade working as a reporter, photographer, and finally a managing editor for what was then Canada’s largest newspaper chain. Over the years he received numerous Manitoba Community Newspapers Association awards for his writing and photography, and most recently has won Canadian Farm Writers Federation awards for his writing and podcasting. Believing that it’s important to be involved in the industry you work in, he currently is a member of the Seeds Canada Advocacy and Communications Committee. He lives on a quarter-section of land in Brightstone, Man., with his wife Laura and their dog, two cats and two horses.
