A growing demand for regenerative and climate-conscious practices necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the microbiome, which is crucial for improving soil health, productivity and environmental outcomes.
The Certificate of Soil Microbiome and Health is a professional development course that explores soil biology and its critical role in sustainable land management.
In this soil microbiome course, you will explore the foundations of soil microbiology, including soil structure, microbial diversity, and the soil food web and the ecological interactions that influence soil health and resilience.
You will discover soil microbiome ecology, including plant–microbe relationships, environmental influences, and the role of key organisms such as mycorrhizae and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. You will develop practical skills in soil assessment, including sampling techniques, biological testing, and data interpretation to support effective soil management.
You will also explore sustainable practices, including composting, regenerative agriculture, and biofertilisers, and learn about emerging innovations in soil biotechnology, carbon farming, and microbiome-based solutions.
On completion of this course, you will feel confident to assess soil health, employ sustainable practices and support science-based land management.
