The British Society of Soil Science 2025 Annual Conference will take place from Wednesday 3 – Friday 5 December in Manchester. The overall conference theme is Resilient Soils for a Sustainable Future. The packed multi-disciplinary event spanning the built, natural environment and agricultural sectors, set at King's House Conference Centre in Manchester, will provide delegates with a fantastic opportunity to see the latest research and developments within soil science.

With the UK consultation on a new approach to land use highlighting the need to protect our most productive agricultural land and enhance food security, the role of soil health is more critical than ever. Across the world, there is growing recognition - from bodies such as the UK EFRA Committee - that soil health should be treated with the same priority as water and air. This conference will provide a platform to discuss these pressing issues, with a focus on:

• The role of soil in climate adaptation, flood mitigation, land remediation and biodiversity
• The policy landscape surrounding soil protection and land use
• The latest research and innovations supporting long-term soil resilience

The exciting and diverse programme will feature keynote speakers and experts across the 2 days.
