Course to save our soils – information on nutrient recycling and carbon sequestration

DESCRIPTION OF ACTION

The project organised three course days for different target groups on the Qvidja farm and one breakfast event at the European Commission. The aim of the course days was to familiarise the invited participants with the importance of soil health and the role of soil in protecting the Baltic Sea and fighting against climate change. Healthy soil retains nutrients efficiently and is able to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and store it.
