Ingeborg Boyens has worked as a journalist for many years, writing for newspapers, magazines and television in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary. Her most recent position took her to CBC-TV's national current affairs program Country Canada in Winnipeg. Her work there as a documentary producer led to the production of her first book, Unnatural Harvest: How genetic engineering is altering our food. The book is a layperson's exploration of how the new science of biotechnology is transforming the food that we grow and that we serve our children.She followed that up in 2001 with Another Season's Promise: Hope and Despair in Canada's Farm Country.And she acted as managing editor for the Encyclopedia of Manitoba, released in 2007.
