Open-Space Session at the Third Global Soil Week – Soil management – it’s about livelihoods

23 Apr 2015 - 23 Apr 2015

The Open-Space Session will be held during the Third Global Soil Week om Thursday, 23 April 2015 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The Sustainable soil management pays off. Examples from the global south and north show that sustainable soil practices can have a huge return on investment for the practitioners directly involved; in monetary, environmental, social and cultural terms.

 

The presenters will share their practical engagement in Nepal, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Germany and USA with saving soils: through soil restoration and community building, by composting and organic agricultural techniques, all resulting in improved livelihoods. The organizers invite for a further exchange on how to make soil management attractive for (rural) communities.
