Date: Friday, 5 December, 11-11.30am
Presenter: Dr. Paul Mudge, Bioeconomy Science Institute
Soil underpins life, livelihoods, and identity in Aotearoa, yet its many contributions remain largely unseen and undervalued. To mark World Soils Day 2025, this webinar will explore why raising the profile of soil’s value matters now more than ever and aims to (re)start a national conversation on the research priorities needed to future-proof our living soil systems. We will revisit past insights, examine current pressures, and identify the evidence gaps that continue to limit our ability to safeguard this taonga for generations to come.
