You’ll hear from the latest research and technology for insights into the importance of the different actors in the soil food web, how soil biodiversity links to ecosystem functions and the role of healthy soils in improving crop resilience to climate change above ground.
A handful of healthy soil can contain a myriad of different micro-organisms and invertebrates. But what do these all do in our soils? How do they interact with plant roots? And more importantly, what measures can be taken to maintain this biodiversity and thereby increase the resilience of farming systems above ground?
There has never been such interest in better understanding what’s going on below-ground. The science of soils biology and accompanying technologies to better understand it and manage it are rapidly changing and improving, providing valuable insights.
Come and join our panel of speakers and exhibitors to help you untangle and make better sense of what lies beneath our feet and apply this newly gained knowledge to improve resilience on farm.
The event is kindly hosted by Cranfield University.
Why join:
This event will be a showcase of the range of technologies and emerging research available to better understand, monitor and manage the range of activities happening beneath our feet that have an impact on farming and land management. The event would be interested to:
- Farmers and land-owners interested in soil health monitoring
- Researchers wanting to share their work in this area and understand commercial applications
- Tech developers with a solution for measuring and managing soils
- Individuals with a general interest in soils and associated micro-organisms
Basis CPD points will be available for attendees this event.
