To celebrate World Soil Day on Thursday 5th December, Meadows Adviser Rory Johnson was invited to be on the panel of an event organised by Angela Lloyd at Grange Court in Leominster. There was a whole host of stimulating questions covering a wide range of topics and highlighting how improving soil health is central to mitigating the climate and biodiversity crises. Rory highlighted how the healthy soils beneath well managed, species rich grasslands store carbon, alleviate flooding, improve water quality and improve the nutritional value of the plants, and by extension the grazing animals, that feed on them.
