The British Society of Soil Science and the Soil Science Society of Ireland’s Joint Annual Conference 2023 will take place from Monday 4 – Tuesday 5 December in Belfast.

The overall conference theme is Soil Management and Monitoring. The packed two-day event, set in the historic Assembly Buildings Conference Centre in the heart of Belfast, will provide delegates with a fantastic opportunity to see the latest research and developments within soil science.

Programme
The exciting and diverse programme will feature keynote speakers and experts across the 2 days. On Monday 4 December, representatives from all UK nations and Ireland will take part in our keynote policy session in the afternoon, which will provide an overview of the key activities being undertaken in each of the nations to monitor and manage soils at a governmental level.

In the advent of Northern Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs soil sampling programme and the recent UK Parliamentary Soil Health Inquiry, the consideration of soil and soil management from governments has seen a recent positive surge.
