Soil organic carbon sequestration is one of the most cost-effective options for:

🤎#ClimateChange adaptation & mitigation
🤎combating desertification
🤎fighting land degradation
🤎achieving #FoodSecurity

Protecting our #soils means protecting our planet: https://t.co/RMnbx4qHJ2

[Giovani Preza Fontes @PrezaFontes]

We are recruiting two motivated and enthusiastic GRAs to work on soybean production and conservation practices. Come join our team, a highly-ranked Department and University, and a nice community.

About 95% of our food comes from soils.

But 33% of our soils are degraded, & nutrient imbalance is one of the leading causes.

Improving soil nutrient balance is an effective way to help ensure safe, nutritious food for all.

From nutrient cycling to carbon sequestration, #SoilOrganisms not only contribute to #BuildBackBiodiversity but also serve as indicators of a #HealthySoil and🌍🌿

Celebrate #BiodiversityDay by exploring the state of knowledge of soil biodiversity 👉🏿👉🏿👉🏿 https://t.co/EI8c9P0SgN

Nice day to be out in the field, taking soil and cereal rye #CoverCrop samples for a project funded by @ILSoybean looking at fertilizer strategies to optimize soybean 🌱production

[Richard Smith @rsmithsoil]

Soil respiration with intact clover
= 226 CO2 ppm / min
Clover respiration with soil removed
= 128 CO2 ppm / min

So I reckon much of the CO2 flux from the soil is actually from the plant roots….rather than soil biology.

[Teagasc @teagasc]

How do we avoid losing carbon on tillage soils? Methods such as straw incorporation and cover crops can be used to add carbon back into the soil. Dermot Forristal tells us more from the #FarmingforSoilHealth event today in Johnstown Castle

[Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Societies @ASA_CSSA_SSSA]

Scientists in California made #biochar by heating local plant materials such as pistachio shells and date palm leaves. They tested how efficiently different temperatures of biochar removed three different antibiotics from #wastewater: https://t.co/lyT0QCLPg9

When food is lost or wasted, the land, labour, water, energy & all of the resources that went into producing it are being wasted too.

Reducing #FoodLoss & #FoodWaste means protecting the health of our one & only planet.

Let's all act: for people & 🌍!

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

Healthy soils mean healthy, safe & nutritious food.

But 33% of our soils are degraded, & nutrient imbalance is one of the leading causes.

Here are 6 actions to improve soil nutrient balance & ensure safe, nutritious food for all👇
