Soil is an essential natural resource for all farmers. Over recent years many initiatives have sought to provide information and advice on soils and Soil Health, notably AHDB Great Soils. 

Tell us how you are improving your soils. Share useful resources, organisations and initiatives.

The British Society of Soil Science (BSSS) is an established international membership organisation committed to the study of soil in its widest aspects. The society brings together those working within academia, practitioners implementing soil science in industry and all those working with, or with an interest in soils.

There is a lot of interest in soil carbon currently, due to the opportunity to store and sequester carbon in soil. It is also vital for soil health, forming part of soil organic matter.

Share resources, groups and projects that you've found helpful for soil management.

Soil biology includes a variety of soil microbes, bacteria and larger fauna such as earthworms and collembolans.
