The Senate’s “Critical Ground” soil report makes 25 recommendations including designating soil as a national strategic resource, creating a national soil database and appointing a national soil advocate.

Roadshow attendees arrived by motor coach on the morning of Sept. 10 and were encouraged to tour the farm show site in Woodstock. They met later in the day for a networking event that heard introductions from several business leaders, including Marco Saladini, Trade Commissioner with the Italian Trade Agency.

In an interview earlier in the day, Saladini offered, “I am very impressed by this show, by the organization, by the attendance, and I am eager to take a walk and figure out what could be the next steps for our programs supporting Italian companies and their interactions with [the] Canadian agricultural world.”
