#worldsoilday2022

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Yesterday, the #WorldSoilDay2022 was celebrated at the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra!

Maintaining stable, healthy and biodiverse soils helps protect pollinators, which are essential for obtaining food. From seeds, spices, oils, fruits and vegetables, there was a bit of everything on our stand!

For #WorldSoilDay2022, I offer a photo from a field of mine last September.

We harvest silage for livestock in July and under-seed 15 different plant species which keep growing until it snows. The plants feed the soil organisms, sequester carbon, extract nitrogen from the air, and reduce erosion. Many neighbours would till the field and leave the soil exposed until spring.

If you live in the UK & you have primary school aged children check out my new Six inches of Soil blog highlighting Country Trusts brilliant ‘Plant Your Pants’ campaign which launched today on World Soil Day 🪱💚🪱💚 They can join in as individuals or can get schools involved. It’s a brilliant environmental project that connects kids with soil and nature

#Canada is a huge country. But it’s shocking, how little of our nation’s landmass actually has #soil suitable for #farming. We are remarkably lucky in #Alberta to have so much soil suitable for cultivation. Our soil (and our water) really are remarkable natural resources. #WorldSoilDay #WorldSoilDay2022 #AGFO #SenateofCanada images.app.goo.gl/LsXbzGbaNHDo
