Summit on Canadian Soil Health 2017
22 August, 2017 - 23 August, 2017
The Costs and Consequences of Soil Degradation
August 22-23, 2017
Delta Hotel, Guelph, Ontario
The upcoming SCCC Summit on Canadian Soil Health 2017 is intended to address the challenges to Canada’s soil resources and seek solutions to ensuring the legacy of healthy soils for sustainable food production, enhanced biodiversity, and cleaner air and water for present and future generations.
Soil Health Has Suffered
During the past 150 years, the development of Canadian agriculture has been rapid, and too often at the expense of soil health. Our historic success in being good stewards of our soil comes with a great deal of complacency. When soil health suffers, degradation costs escalate. This impacts agriculture, the economy, the environment and each of us.
Improved soil management and a heightened soil care ethic are essential as we face rapidly increasing food production pressure, loss of our best soil to housing and industry, inconsistent soil management advice, and changing climate impacts.
Summit on Canadian Soil Health 2017
Join leaders in agriculture, academia, government, agri-business, conservation professionals and other concerned stakeholders as we identify and consider:
