Celebrating World Soil Day
December 5 is World Soil Day, intended to raise awareness of the importance of soil health and sustainable soil management.
Meet some of the researchers and projects at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College that are building a more sustainable agri-food system by improving soil health.
The state-of-the-art soil health monitoring station at the Ontario Crops Research Centre in Elora is helping researchers identify practices that support farm productivity and soil health.
The U of G knowledge mobilization initiative Soils at Guelph shares results from soil health research and aims to build bridges among farmers, government and the public to improve soil health.
The Ontario Crops Research Centre is owned by the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario and managed by U of G through the Alliance.
