Soil health within the farming system is recognised as a vital component of the UK’s natural capital and is in the forefront of innovation in sustainable agriculture. Defra is developing policy in this area by incorporating research and investment in advanced bioscience tools that support precision agriculture. These innovations improve the plant-soil relationship, support more informed decision-making, boost crop resilience, and lead to enhanced nutritional outcomes.
Anglia Innovation Partnership is hosting a focussed half-day workshop that brings together leading experts and stakeholders from across the agriculture and environment sectors including academic researchers, policy makers, farmers and industry leaders. We invite you to contribute your insights, share practical challenges, and identify key priorities for action across farming and land management in providing solutions to support policy for establishing healthy soil.
This collaborative event offers a unique opportunity to hear about latest applications of research for soil health, soil microbiome, and root-soil relation and explore innovative solutions, including bioengineered and nature-based approaches, that support Defra’s goals and strengthen output of the UK agri-food sector.
