The 22nd Congress is being organised by the
British Society of Soil Science on behalf of the International Union of Soil
Sciences.

The Congress theme, ‘Soil Science –
crossing boundaries, changing society’ focuses on the link between soil and
society, with sessions covering soil systems, soil processes, soil management
and how we interact with and use soils around the world.
There will be opportunities for specialist
workshops and discussion sessions across a wide range of soil disciplines. The
core programme is supported by tours and a cultural and arts programme for
delegates and the wider public to explore our diverse environment and culture.
At a time of global concern for our planet
and its growing population, managing our soils sustainably has never been as
important. 90% of our food comes from soil, as does all of our timber and other
fibre. Soil, and the ecosystems it supports, have a huge role in mitigating
against climate change, is a vast reservoir of biodiversity, plays a
significant role in flood management and contains key evidence of past
civilisations.
Our understanding of the importance of
these functions is developing rapidly and the Congress provides the ideal
setting to discover the international state of the art in these critical global
issues and an opportunity to connect across all who work with and rely on
soils.
