Celebrating Ontario Agriculture Week with the Alliance Impact Case Study on Soil Health

Sometimes innovation isn’t fast and flashy: sometimes it’s slow and dirty.

It's Ontario Agriculture Week, and at the University of Guelph—Canada's Food University—we're celebrating fresh, homegrown food and the farmers, food industry workers and agri-businesses who bring it to our plates.

The fundamental starting point for growing healthy food is healthy soil. With long-term investment and expertise, soil grows productive plants, protects the environment and builds economic sustainability for producers.

For decades, the University of Guelph has worked with the Government of Ontario and with industry to transform how we understand, manage and preserve the province’s soils.

The impact is big: U of G research has led to new tools and best practices that have changed the way we farm.

I invite you to explore the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance case study on soil health research, and hope to see you at our special World Soil Day event on December 5. You can register here.

All the best,
