At the 2021 IFS Conference Ken Giller, from WUR, presented his recent paper on the role of Regenerative Agriculture in food production systems. In this clip he demonstrates how RA has become very high profile, and when this started to grow. Abstract here: https://t.co/EFkl8RhR4e
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main component of soil organic matter.
🎯 It supports key #soil functions👇
🤎 stabilization of soil structure
🌱 retention and release of plant nutrients
💧 water infiltration in soil
➕ much more! 👇👇👇

In the Roots Lab at @penn_state, there’s no shame in staring at root hairs. In fact, they found that the #root architecture of 14-day-old bean seedlings can predict their root phenotypes later in life. Check it out: https://t.co/ULbElA0j1B @PSUPlantScience

Soil experts @microbass1 and @PowlsonDavid say paying farmers to increase soil carbon could lead to 'postcode lottery' if not done fairly - with those farming on sandy soils losing out.

Researching soil processes, to help better understand how to look after our soils and keep them in healthy condition, so that we can continue to grow food to feed an ever growing population… https://t.co/hGb5ifBPny
Our new microscopy systems finally out in PNAS. We can track the movement of bacteria in the soil during the colonisation of plant roots. Well done SENSOIL team!
I sampled at the infamous @Rothamsted archive yesterday. It was fascinating to see soil samples on the shelf from the early 1800s 🤗 After a long day in the archive, we’ve got what we need to look at the long term behaviour of #microplastics in #soils@BUEnvironment@bangorsoil
Soil scientists separate the solid particles of #soil based on their size. The mixture of sand, silt, and clay particles determines soil texture. This is important to your gardens, and to #farmers growing our food: https://t.co/ZhbQ6AkQSN

How's this for amazing!
This new map shows the soil properties on every single farm in Africa.
24 billion data points. 30m resolution. With it, soil micronutrient deficiencies can be addressed.
The beginning of the end for hidden hunger?

If are wondering why your top rated @UKRI_News grant wasn’t funded, so a German team recruited your best postdoc, this graph will help. https://t.co/by2jwWHNUm
Our new interesting study, highlight the importance of nutrient management for mitigating the negative impacts of soil compaction on crop growth.
