The CREATE in Climate-Smart Soils (CREATE-CSS) is the first multi-institutional soil-centered program to address the need for highly qualified personnel training to sustainably lead Canada’s agri-food sector. Climate-Smart Soils program is led by a team of investigators from several different institutions. Two of the main investigators are from the School of Environmental Sciences, University of Guelph, Prof. Claudia Wagner-Riddle and Prof. Kari Dunfield. 

This initiative is funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the University of Guelph and is a Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) graduate training program.
