We are celebrating the United Nations World Soil Day - Soils: where food begins, as soil nutrient loss is recognised as a major soil degradation process threatening nutrition. It has been identified as being among the most critical problems at a global level for food security and sustainability.
AFBI's work on a range of soil projects includes the European Joint Programme Cofund on Agricultural Soil Management (EJP Soil) where AFBI is the only UK partner and leads a national hub. We are also managing the province wide Soil Nutrient Health Scheme which is now rolling out soil sampling to all registered farms in Zone 1 of 4.
