Dunfield, along with Laura Van Eerd and Claudia Wagner-Riddle, started the project in 2019 and have conducted soil health research across the province.By networking and collaborating, she believes the team’s approach is an effective one.“I think we need to start at that level where everybody understands that soils are important, and not just dirt,” she said.‘Unethical breeders’ leaving dogs to die.

And since starting the project five years ago, Dunfield has learned there are a lot of people interested in protecting soil. She said it’s important to get more people involved. She said soil isn’t renewable and is in crisis due to erosion, pollution or loss to development. Dunfield said soil is not only important for growing food but for the economy.“It’s a hugely important resource for our country and I think we need to remember it’s there and it’s doing a lot for us,” she said.
