Soil health: how to measure and promote it
Listen now
Description
Until recently, the UK had a pretty poor reputation for its focus on soil health in crop production, compared to its counterparts in Australia, the USA, Canada and parts of Europe. But now, some of the UK’s farmers are leading the way in soil health innovation and transformation. In this episode of Crop it Like it’s Hot - Soil health: how to measure and promote it – Alice Dyer explores how we can create a fair metric for monitoring the state of our soils, some of the most effective ways to improve them, and why education and peer to peer learning is key in carrying this new age of farming forward.
