Working with soil

摘要

The IPSS has launched a new professional competency scheme. DEFRA Deputy Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr Miles Parker, helped launch Working with Soil recently. Devised by the Institute of Professional Soil Scientists (IPSS), this new professional competency scheme identifies minimum qualifications, skills and knowledge for practising soils scientists carrying out a range of key tasks. IPSS aims to establish the scheme as the de facto standard for identifying competent contractors in the field of soil science.
