Technology Fair - Land matters – Integrating soil degradation concerns and solutions into policy processes

Soil protection is important! Sustainable soil protection is vital if we want soil to continue to support humanity and the ecosystem benefits we depend on for our survival. However, policy often fails to acknowledge this, or is incapable to identify solutions while at the same time many academics and practitioners still struggle to support and stimulate decision-making.

This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) intends to help understand how to support policy making for sustainable soil protection and rehabilitation. The course intends to develop the capacity of policy advisors, research staff of national or international research institutions and practitioners. The MOOC will reflect on the main challenges, mechanisms and entry points of integrating soil degradation into specific policymaking processes.
