Next up is Vicki Hird MSc FRES 🐝🦋 🍃💚🍃 from Sustain, giving reflection on the day from a policy point of view

Do #Soil researchers need to raise their voice more? Vicki Hird MSc FRES 🐝🦋 🍃💚🍃 asks the question. Should soil as an issue be as well known as #ClimateChange?

SSA SAB member & Sustain Food/Farming Policy lead Vicki Hird MSc FRES 🐝🦋 🍃💚🍃 wraps up the Soil Security Team #SSPoutcomes event: "Today has been a joy, witnessing the interdisciplinary approach from poetry to a farmer to the detail of research discussed" #WorldSoilDay

Our coordinator Prof Chris Collins sums up the day and the programme. We need to work in partnership with end users and other researchers

Here is the project poster that was presented at the Soil Security Team #SSPoutcomes workshop today

Had a great day at the Soil Security Team #SSPoutcomes workshop disseminating our findings with farmers, policy makers and other soil scientists.

Sure I am late posting this Economist article about soil and THOR, but nice work and recognition. I will be using this for a 1st year practical on Soil Science. Soil microbiology – Knowing how plants and microbes work together can boost crop yields economist.com/science-and-te…

Today we published results of a FOI request on England’s monitoring of soil, air & water. Soils receive just 0.41% of the total £68m spent on monitoring. Full details here: bit.ly/2U7PsBa #soilhealth #sustainablesoilsnow

Our coordinator prof Chris Collins comments in this piece “To reverse the degradation of our soils and return them to a healthy state nationally we need a long-term commitment to monitoring - both at farm and national level...” see more here; bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
