At #MissionSoilWeek it was made clear by Kerstin Rosenow there were many deficiencies in soil monitoring data for actionable knowledge and our paper explains why. @katrin_prager
We distill 3 steps to turn soil data into actionable knowledge for sustainable land management, and the required soil and knowledge governance arrangements.
Very excited to share the now published paper with @katrin_prager. How can soil data and information become actionable knowledge to advance sustainable land management? - Lobry de Bruyn - 2024 - Soil Use and Management - Wiley Online Library bsssjournals.onlinelibrary.w…
This is based on a comprehensive review of existing data and information in the UK and Australia, and emerged from an interdisciplinary collaboration (a soil scientist and a social scientist). Very much enjoyed the questions and discussions in the process!
Getting ready for the webinar later this morning - hope there are no time zone issues with Paul joining from Tanzania, participants across Europe and us hosts in the UK!
Fantastic turnout for the @FarmersWeekly#agroforestry event with the @WoodlandTrust at @elstonfarm, Devon today 🌳
