Soil Awareness and Education : Developing a pan European Approach

Abstract

This paper describes the activities of the Working Group (WG) on Soil Awareness and Education established in 2008 under the banner of the European Soil Bureau Network (ESBN), sponsored by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission (EC). In their individual countries members of the group have been involved in a range of activities reaching out to the education sector and policy and public stakeholder groups. This group plans to build on these activities, share best practice and develop initiatives to take forward at the European level
