Soil Security
Programme
Annual Conference – Day 2
© University of Reading
Aims of the day
• To provide an update on the work of the SSP
team and advise on its future operation
• To get an overview of SSP and SARISA
research projects
• To investigate the potential for synergies
across the projects
• Explore the best ways to achieve impact

Programme aims and
goals
The overarching aim of the Soil Security programme is to deliver
improved forecasts of the response of the soil system to changes
in climate, vegetation or management at the scale of decision
making.
We need to understand
• The ability of soils to perform multiple functions in different
contexts and at different scales
• Their ability to resist, recover and adapt to perturbations, such
as those caused by land use change and extreme climatic
events.
We can then
• Define suitable metrics of sustainability
• Identify and prioritise appropriate management interventions.

Land and water management:
a. Announce firm measures to
preserve the fertility and organic
content of important agricultural
soils, to achieve the stated goal for
all soils to be sustainably managed
by 2030.
b. Accelerate efforts to restore
England’s priority natural assets
and counter long-term declines in
the ecological condition of the
farmed countryside.

Roles of SSP
Coordinator
• Leadership for the SSP, oversight of funded research and delivery
against programme objectives, advice on future activities
• Represent the Soil Security and SARISA to wider research community
and stakeholder groups
• Promote a joined up approach between the Soil Security programme and
SARISA,
• Links with SARIC and the Defra farm platforms
• Promote the research aims and teams of the SSP and SARISA
programmes, both nationally and internationally
• To lead an evidence review that will advise Defra on priorities for their
soils research programme.
© University of Reading
Progress to date
• Evidence review of sustainably managed soils by
ADAS - workshops in Edinburgh, Aberystwyth and
Reading
• Visits to all the project PIs
• Promotion of the programme AHDB, ESPA, AgriTech-
Imperial, BSSS
• Close liaison with Defra – evidence review and future
research priorities.
• Conference and PDRA training this year
• Launch of website
• Advisory Board

Soil Evidence Review
findings
• Need to understand C cycling better particularly in organo-
mineral and peat soils.
• For most ESS, we do not have a clear idea of what
properties a sustainable soil should have or which ESS
should be prioritised in different parts of the landscape.
• Poor understanding of whether soil biodiversity can be
manipulated to improve soil function.
• The development of tools for economic evaluation of ESS
provided by soils is in its early stages.
© University of Reading
Next steps
• Continuing project visits
• Soil expertise/requirements mapping in the context of
the review – practitioners, researchers and policy
makers
– Last Defra audit 2004
– Structured questionnaire
• Joint meeting with BSSS 2016
• Further PDRA training

Conference 2015 Day 2

  • 2. © University of Reading Aims of the day • To provide an update on the work of the SSP team and advise on its future operation • To get an overview of SSP and SARISA research projects • To investigate the potential for synergies across the projects • Explore the best ways to achieve impact
  • 3. © University of Reading Programme aims and goals The overarching aim of the Soil Security programme is to deliver improved forecasts of the response of the soil system to changes in climate, vegetation or management at the scale of decision making. We need to understand • The ability of soils to perform multiple functions in different contexts and at different scales • Their ability to resist, recover and adapt to perturbations, such as those caused by land use change and extreme climatic events. We can then • Define suitable metrics of sustainability • Identify and prioritise appropriate management interventions.
  • 4. © University of Reading Land and water management: a. Announce firm measures to preserve the fertility and organic content of important agricultural soils, to achieve the stated goal for all soils to be sustainably managed by 2030. b. Accelerate efforts to restore England’s priority natural assets and counter long-term declines in the ecological condition of the farmed countryside.
  • 5. © University of Reading The Co-ordinator team Coordinator Chris Collins KE Manager Anna Louise Batchelor Administrator Sharon Burton Comms Manager Jeremy Lelean
  • 6. © University of Reading Roles of SSP Coordinator • Leadership for the SSP, oversight of funded research and delivery against programme objectives, advice on future activities • Represent the Soil Security and SARISA to wider research community and stakeholder groups • Promote a joined up approach between the Soil Security programme and SARISA, • Links with SARIC and the Defra farm platforms • Promote the research aims and teams of the SSP and SARISA programmes, both nationally and internationally • To lead an evidence review that will advise Defra on priorities for their soils research programme.
  • 7. © University of Reading Progress to date • Evidence review of sustainably managed soils by ADAS - workshops in Edinburgh, Aberystwyth and Reading • Visits to all the project PIs • Promotion of the programme AHDB, ESPA, AgriTech- Imperial, BSSS • Close liaison with Defra – evidence review and future research priorities. • Conference and PDRA training this year • Launch of website • Advisory Board
  • 8. © University of Reading Soil Evidence Review findings • Need to understand C cycling better particularly in organo- mineral and peat soils. • For most ESS, we do not have a clear idea of what properties a sustainable soil should have or which ESS should be prioritised in different parts of the landscape. • Poor understanding of whether soil biodiversity can be manipulated to improve soil function. • The development of tools for economic evaluation of ESS provided by soils is in its early stages.
  • 9. © University of Reading Next steps • Continuing project visits • Soil expertise/requirements mapping in the context of the review – practitioners, researchers and policy makers – Last Defra audit 2004 – Structured questionnaire • Joint meeting with BSSS 2016 • Further PDRA training

  1. Announcements – Toilets, Fire escapes,
  2. Note different scales Functions - Flood protection, clean water, food and carbon storage Rates of loss of arable soils by erosion and degradation exceed rates of soil formation by 1-2 orders of magnitude globally, so current management is unsustainably depleting this resource.
  3. Soils on the government agenda these programmes and wider e.g. SARIC Policy context Defra aspiration Sustainable soils 2030 Scottish Soil Framework • SO1 - Soil organic matter stock protected and enhanced where appropriate • SO2 - Soil erosion reduced and where possible remediated
  4. I am leading the team. Much of my recent experience has been in the contaminated land sector, working in health risk assessment from soil pollutants lots of familiarity working at the academic/regulator/practitioner interface. Anna KE ensuring the uptake of your research findings by the wider community and developing connections to co-develop those findings . Research Officer for a number of European Projects, Office of the Deputy PM, more recently as a consultant to the food industry e.g. sustainable supply chains. Sharon undertook an Agricultural Economics degree at Reading, has worked for Defra and the insurance industry in the past. Key contact for the programme and many of you will have communicated with her recently. Jeremy graduated in Biochemistry undertook a postdoc in the US and in recent years set up his own antique book business. Responsible for website encouraging you all to provide content. I am sure you will find all the team will provide substantial support.
  5. Are there any projects using Defra platforms or plans to do so
  6. Evidence review in a minute Further visits next year Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board
  7. Thresholds and workable ranges for physical and chemical indicators have been developed, but not necessarily related to the delivery of specific ES. What sustainability means for each ESS in each location? SSP can deliver on the first 3
