U of G Environmental Sciences experts and Ontario Crops Research Centre projects featured on TVO documentary

The TVO Water Brothers episode titled “Save our Soils” explores the way soil is foundational to clean water and our food supply.

Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle, Dr. Kari Dunfield, Dr. Adam Gillespie and Dr. Genevieve Ali  are part of the half-hour mini documentary that airs Nov. 30 at 9 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. The U of G faculty members share with the Water Brothers how they are helping to protect the vital connection between healthy soil and water management.

U of G researchers have been measuring crop performance at the Ontario Crops Research Centre sites across the province, with some trials in Ridgetown and Elora dating back for 25 and 40 years, respectively. These research initiatives were made possible in part by the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance, a decades long collaboration between U of G and the Government of Ontario. 

The episode is available now for viewing on TVO’s YouTube page.
