The information below is taken from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Affairs Ontario’s website. Please see below information about the draft Agricultural Soil Health and Conservation Strategy and how you can submit your feedback. You have until December 31st, 2017 to submit your feedback.
We all know that healthy soil is the basis for a strong, sustainable agri-food system. Wise management can ensure that soil is fertile and full of the living organisms that are essential to grow food and other agricultural products. That’s why Ontario is committed to working with Indigenous communities, farmers, industry and community partners to develop a strategy that will sustain and support healthy soil so our land can be productive today and well into the future.
The draft strategy builds on the vision, goals, objectives and concepts presented in the 2016 ‘Sustaining Ontario’s Agricultural Soils: Towards a Shared Vision’ discussion document.
It also builds on the extensive soil health efforts of agricultural organizations and OMAFRA. It was developed in collaboration with the agricultural sector, and it reflects feedback received during public engagement on the discussion document, from farmers, Indigenous participants and other interested groups and individuals.
