Soils are just like wines – everyone is wonderfully different, with its own texture, biology and aroma. Our soil is arguably the most important thing to protect and nurture, as we depend on it. Yet more than 40 per cent of soils worldwide are now degraded massively. Even in the UK, soils suffer erosion. After the floods last year, many are compacted by machinery and in need of reinvigoration. The soil symposium will help farmers understand more about their most important resource, and how to improve yields, disease resistance and food quality through better soil husbandry.
