I think you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't make sense for us to assume that we can feed the world from Canada. Canada's a huge exporter—will always be—and our farmers are doing a fantastic job, but the needs of the world are greater than that.
Part of the problem we've had is there are only a few big exporting countries. Canada's one, Ukraine is one, and some of the others have been named, and we've had too much dependence on them, so that when one is disrupted, such as Ukraine, it really creates a problem. What I'm suggesting is not to displace Canada from the market but to encourage countries to try to grow more of their own food.
We know that in Canada grain yields can approach 10 tonnes to the hectare. In most of Africa, grain yields average one tonne per hectare. If we can move that up to two, three or four, that would be huge progress. Food could be produced locally and it would be the food people are accustomed to eating, and there wouldn't be long market chains to get it to market. I think there's a great potential to do that. That's exactly the work we've been doing in my organization, and I'd like to see Canada support more of it.
