The Soil Box. Soil science as the basis of agriculture
Objectives
The project "The Soil Box" has the goal to transfer theoretically acquired knowledge in the field of soil science in the daily agricultural practice. This should be achieved with the help of a novel instrument for self-study. The Soil Box wants to combine well-proven know-how and new scientific findings. It offers subscribers working in agriculture and consulting the opportunity to obtain knowledge about the soil and its complex processes in an understandable and practice-relevant way.
Activities
The development of the tools for the individual boxes has been planned in close cooperation with experts in the field of agriculture, consulting and science. The practical tests and the further development take place by the farmers of the OG and with the extended network. The soil boxes will provide specific instructions to practitioners so that they are able to assess soil properties independently with the help of the necessary tools. Land managers and consultants should so be provided with comprehensive, didactically and technically sound tools for assessing current growth conditions.
