Healthy soils retain carbon and are an unsung hero waiting in the wings to tackle climate change. That's the main message of a new 52 page report released by the Soil Conservation Council of Canada . . . and the Compost Council of Canada.

The report says if properly managed . . . Canada's 175 million acres of agricultural and urban soils can be developed to increase and retail more carbon . . . helping the country meet its greenhouse emission targets. The Executive Director of the Soil Conservation Council of Canada Jim Tokarchuk and Glenn Munroe, the reports co-author, will tell us about the report and how that information will be shared.

Escalating tensions in eastern Europe have the potential to destabilize food production globally. It's also causing havoc on many markets. Florian Possberg, a partner with Polar Pork Farms says one of the biggest concerns will be on how this will impact the availability of feed grain which has already been an issue since last year.
