For this year\u2019s AGM, we are interested in diving into the nitty gritty of soil health. We are interested in how the definition changes depending on the context (Agriculture, Forestry, Urban etc.), as well as potential critical perspectives on the term itself. Join us for a day to hear multiple perspectives about this topic from industry and academic experts and have the chance to interact with them during our panel discussion!<\/p>\n Registration cost is $15 for students and $50 for non-students\/ professionals.
