A citizens’ Observatory for growers, researchers and decision makers.
Cultivate is excited to be a partner in the GROW Observatory, a European-wide project engaging thousands of growers as citizen scientists. The project is an innovative approach to creating a community of citizen growers, gardeners, small scale farmers, scientists and policymakers. This community will work together to learn from each other, provide growing and policy advice and contribute data on local soil conditions, to help validate climate change adaptation models generated by satellite.
Do you grow your own food? Have an allotment? Own a small farm? Are you involved in a community or school garden? Are you taking practical steps to regenerate the soil for future generations? GROW provides an opportunity to develop and share your knowledge and skills.
Join us on Thursday 29th June, from 12.30 – 13.30. This webinar will explore and discuss some of the results provided by participants in GROW’s recent MOOC course, as well as considering the wider importance of soils and cultivation techniques.
Although we are sharing these results now, we would love all those who are interested in soils, growing food, and citizen science to join us. This is only the beginning of the GROW journey. During the webinar we will be taking your live questions specifically about soil, sites and growing practices.
The webinar is free but registration is required through this eventbrite link.
