Would you like to learn how to regenerate your soil’s health?
Soils are one of your farm businesses most important assets. The Soil Wise program is offering a free online course delivered by Soil Land Food to provide professional support to help you on your soil health journey.
Through the ‘Reboot my soil’ online program participants will:
• Learn about how soil systems function using a 21st century approach.
• Share with like-minded farmers and graziers who are improving their soil management.
• Learn the core soil skills of reading soil tests, assessing soils and benchmarking.
• Explore practical soil solutions for your enterprise.
• Develop a Soil Action Plan for a paddock.
The course consists of 6 online sessions on Zoom (90 minutes each), run once a week over 6 weeks (see dates in the table below). Participants are expected to commit to attend all six sessions of the program.
All farm businesses are welcome to express your interest in the course. Places are strictly limited to 10 farm businesses per group. This is so participants have time to ask questions, share and learn with other participants and look at different soils.
Hosted by David Hardwick and his colleague Simon Mattsson from Soil Land Food. https://soillandfood.com.au/about-us/
