Program Workshop Soil Sustainability
Objectives
- To understand broad soil sustainability concepts, involving chemical, physical, and biological aspects related to crops used for bioenergy production, focusing on sugarcane;
- To develop integrated perspectives and to put sustainability concepts into practice;
- To foster cooperation between scientists working in The Netherlands and Brazil.
