Agrotechnomarket.com - The upcoming Soil Conservation Council of Canada (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. The committee of SCCC invites you to join us to learn from and share your experiences from researcher, governments, land management, business, scientists, policy and local practice!. This year, the summit takes a theme "The Costs and Consequences of Soil Degradation" and will be held on August 22-23, 2017 at Delta Hotel, Guelph, Ontario.
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.
