Upskilling of soil health advisory services - existing resources

This deliverable presents a Roadmap for effective upskilling of soil health advisory services - identifying existing resources. One of the main goals of NBSOIL WP3 ‘Prototyping the NBSOIL Academy’ is to develop a comprehensive training programme for next generation soil advisors and advisory services and this roadmap plays a significant role in this direction. This roadmap is based on a review of available learning programs, notably from universities and technical schools for soil advisors, and the results of workshops and discussions with the educational communities related to Soil Health. A multi-actor approach was adopted to engage soil advisors, land managers and other stakeholders. Online workshops and live documents were also used to test and evaluate new forms of advice in order to make more effective use of digitisation and new models for advisor-farmer-data interactions.
