Farmers in Ukraine and Russia produce about a quarter of the world's calories.

The region also accounts for nearly a third of the fertilizer needed in Canada to grow these same crops.

If Canada is going to do our part on food security, we need government to ensure a dependable supply of the fertilizer our farmers need to grow the crops the world needs.
