As we say goodbye to this year, we wanted to give a huge thanks. We’ve made our first steps in the first year of NBSOIL and it has been a whirlwind of success!
This year was all about learning, growing, and working together. We made something awesome—a MOOC for soil enthusiasts. Don’t forget to enrol in our website.
As we step into the new year, we’re sending warm wishes your way. We hope 2024 brings you loads of happiness and success and catch you at Soil Academy and more!
In this last edition of the newsletter, we wrap-up 2023. So, sit back, relax and let’s dive into the world of soil together!
