Hi, I am writing because I thought you or people you know might be
interested in joining the free online soil course we are running. The
course officially starts on Monday 19th, but you can sign up any time
through the week. Full details below.

All best wishes,

Chris


Learn how to understand your soil and explore global environmental soil
issues by becoming a citizen scientist on GROW's free online course,
starting this Monday, 19th February. Sign up now:
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/grow-from-soil-to-sky

By the end of the course, you'll be able to...

- Describe the type of soil you have, including details such as soil
texture and stone content
- Explore how soil health influences plant growth and the environment
- Compare different approaches to growing food, and how these impact
soil health and plant productivity
- Apply knowledge of your own growing space to how it connects to the
wider landscape and global soil trends
- Describe key characteristics of your growing site, such as canopy
cover and land cover
- Explore how you can become a citizen scientist to monitor and improve
soil health

And being part of GROW Observatory offers more than just taking part in an
online course; it’s about becoming part of a community of European growers,
scientists and others equally passionate about soil who want to help
regenerate this vital resource for future generations, while also helping
with vital environmental scientific monitoring.



This is your chance to make a difference - not just to your own growing
space, but also by contributing to wider research about how understanding
our soil better can help us adapt to a changing climate.
