Soil Survey of Canada

The Soil Survey of Canada is a comprehensive program that maps and describes the different types of soil found across the country. It aims to provide detailed information about soil characteristics, such as composition, fertility, and suitability for agriculture, forestry, and construction. By systematically studying and cataloging soil types, the survey helps land managers, farmers, and environmental scientists make informed decisions about land use, conservation practices, and sustainable agriculture, ultimately supporting Canadian ecosystems and food security. This initiative is vital for understanding our natural resources and their management.
