Topic 3.1 — Soil organic matter decline
Forum task: SOC drivers in your region
Think about your own situation or the region you currently live in. What are drivers for SOC loss in your region and what is being done about it?
- Option 1. Take a walk outside. Can you see signs that indicate SOC is likely being lost due to land use or land management? What could be done?
- Option 2. Do you know a farmer or forest manager in your area? Ask them how they feel about their challenges and how they overcome them.
- Option 3. What role could cooperation between farmers, scientists, and society play in maintaining healthy soils in the future?
