Sustainability and soil health : A farm walk and workshop for farmers
Our soils are the foundation of our farms – and the key to a more resilient and sustainable system. With the right management, soil can be the sponge that helps us in both heavy rain and drought, and a healthy soil can mean less need for fertiliser and other inputs.
This workshop will be guided by Agroecologist Abi Mordin, and Soil Scientist Mary Silk. We'll compare and contrast different fields and areas that have been managed in different ways, and discuss what's needed to plan for and make changes that increase resilience and sustainability.
Tuesday 21 July, 12.30–4.30pm,
Kinnordy Estate, Home Farm, Kirriemuir
