Why we need a deeper connection to soils
“ Soils tend to be hugely neglected or taken for granted. Soils are not appreciated or given the importance that they really do have.”
In his speech for World Soil Day in December 2024, soil scientist Dr John Grant from Southern Cross University (SCU) said it was time for people to re-establish their connection to our soils, and to understand the linkages between soils, food and farming.
He spoke in front of more than 80 people, at the Good Soils, Good Food event in Lismore, hosted by the SQNNSW Innovation Hub and Southern Cross University.
