This project allows you to import the Canadian Nutrient File into a Mongo database with very little effort. The models I built are pretty basic, they follow their data structure, with the hope that future releases will be as easy to import.
Just download the files somewhere, extract the zip file, and run the importer. Done.
The pdfs provided with the download will explain everything to you, so I won't really talk about the data itself here. They're better at it than I am, tbh.
