FW: Why soils? Pourquoi les sols ?

It is also a crucial natural resource that occupies a unique space in the Canadian agricultural policy landscape. Unlike parks and forests, agricultural soils are largely privately owned. As a policy institute focused on Canadian agriculture, CAPI can’t overstate the important role healthy soils play in securing our food system. In appreciation of World Soil Day, CAPI asked two leading figures in soil health, the Honourable Senator Robert Black and CAPI Distinguished Fellow Dr. Susan Wood-Bohm, to share their expertise on the subject. The main points listed below are a mere snapshot of the complex considerations surrounding soil – a primer, if you will. We hope the following Quick Think Report will spur some serious reflection and perhaps prompt some questions that you’re more than willing to direct back to us.
