#TalkSoil – join the conversation to help farmers build healthier soils

The International Year of Soils 2015 is helping to mobilise much-needed interest and action in global efforts to protect soils, a finite resource on which our lives depend.

But it is small scale farmers who suffer the effects of land degradation and poor soil health the most – and, as guardians of 80 per cent of the world’s farmland, it is they who are most in need of affordable and practical solutions to protect their soil.

CIAT and Shamba Shape Up, the hit East African make-over TV show, have teamed up to host a 1 hour Twitter Q&A on the theme of “Helping Farmers Build Healthier Soils”.
