Citizen Science: From Soil to Sky - Online Course<https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/grow-from-soil-to-sky>
www.futurelearn.com
Become a citizen scientist, discover how to investigate your soil, and join a citizen observatory to help monitor and tackle global soil issues.

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.
