About the Author

A retired professional agrologist, Philippe Sabourin has had a connection to the Earth and its people his whole life. After graduating from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, majoring in Plant Science, he joined the family farm, Sabourin Seed Service Limited where he exported lentils among other items. Later, he headed the agricultural division of an agricultural engineering firm, where among other things, he worked on diversification and value-added opportunities for farmers. He also opened a consulting business working on a wide variety of projects. Philippe has been a select grower with the Canadian Seed Growers' Association as well as a member of the Canadian Seed Trade Association, SeCan Association, Canadian Consulting Agrologists Association and Manitoba Institute of Agrologists. At age 60, he turned his enthusiasm to our future generation of leaders, and for ten years worked as a teacher's aide and substitute teacher for Kindergarten to Grade 12 with the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine. He is also a proud father of three children. A gardener, tree planter, businessman, avid outdoor enthusiast, and a world trekker, Philippe continues to embrace life. He now lives in Southern Manitoba.
