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.

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.
