Soils are crucial for sustainable development, and healthy soils are central to achieving many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The 2018 Annual Conference of the British Society of Soil Science, taking place at Lancaster University  4th-5th September 2018, will provide an opportunity to focus on these issues.

Keynote speakers, including Professor Cheryl Palm from the University of Florida, will address problems such as Soils and Food Security, Climate Change and Health and Water Quality.

This conference will provide a platform to deliberate and discuss these critical topics.

Throughout the two days there will be opportunities to network with practitioners from diverse organisations, discuss how your research aligns to current SDGs, benefit from hearing differing views and opinions, determine how your research can contribute to the UK Soil SDG aims, and catch up with peers and colleagues.
