Baobab: Highlights

On the Air Again

OTTAWA, Dec 30, 1999 -- We are on the air again! January 1, 2000 is the beginning of decade, century, millennium and season of Baobab Productions features on The Canadian Farm. Baobab has produced thirteen new, international features for the national Agri-Food magazine. The stories were taped on location in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Mali, Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Each story shows how grass-roots research work is helping the world's most disadvantaged farmers produce more from their land. In particular the items focus on Canada's key role in improving global food security.

The series has been produced with the support of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) as part of its Development Information Program. This is the second time CIDA has supported Baobab's efforts to increase knowledge in Canada of important international development issues.
