Humus — The invisible foundation of life

Without humus, there can be no healthy soil – and ultimately, no life. But what makes humus so important? In this talk, we’ll delve into the processes that create fertile soil, which acts as a store of nutrients, a regulator of water and a factor influencing the climate. Drawing on the latest research findings, you will learn how soils store carbon and how land use, erosion and biodiversity influence this delicate cycle. An evening exploring a treasure that literally gives life.
