We snapped some of the participants during the filming of a series of videos entitled, ‘Our soil matters’, which were produced with the help of our partners in support of the latest instalment of Making the case for the environment focusing on soil. The films include contributions from farmers (both arable and livestock), land managers, soil specialists, ecologists, archaeologists and recreational users explaining why, from their perspectives, ‘our soil matters’.
