Funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union, Soils4Africa project will put in place by 2025 an Open-data Soil Information System (SIS). The SIS is based on baseline data collected from 20,000 locations across the continent and standardized methodologies that can be repeated again and again to keep the SIS growing in the future. The data will enable farmers, agri-businesses, scientists, and policymakers in their efforts towards sustainable intensification of agriculture and boosting food security; by improving the quality and availability of African soil data.
In this video, we show how to prepare and ship soil samples to our Soils4Africa lab in South Africa for analysis. You will be instructed about packaging the soil sample and shipment boxes labeling.
