SAVOUR MANITOBA | SPRING 24 53
All eggs in Manitoba grocery stores are
locally produced by egg farmers like the
Siemens family from Rosenort, MB.
Regulated egg farmers are making
strides in greening the egg industry.
Over the past 50 years, Canadian egg
production has increased by 50%, while
the industry's environmental footprint
has been reduced by almost 50%. Egg
farmers are building on this momentum
by adopting new practices and embracing
innovation to strengthen our commitment
to environmental sustainability.

Sustainability Tip:
Use the whole egg – add crushed
eggshells to your garden!
Eggshells make a good addition
to compost piles and garden
soil. The eggshells can help
as a physical barrier against
pests this spring. The shells also
provide calcium and can help
to increase pH levels in soil, as
some plants including lettuce,
carrots, cucumbers and beans
prefer alkaline soil.
