Course overview
Carbon is incorporated into the soil through the operation of soil building, which is a plant-driven phenomenon that alters the biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of the soil healthily. The Introduction to Building Better Soils online certification was developed by Mary Lucero, a systems biologist, and is made available by Udemy to applicants who wish to learn about soil chemistry and biology to create healthy soil for farming and agricultural practices to become farmers, gardeners, or horticulturists.
Introduction to Building Better Soils online classes involves 2 hours of video-based learning resources along with assignments to provide applicants with a comprehensive understanding of the concepts and strategies involved with soil chemistry and redox chemistry for producing healthy soil. Introduction to Building Better Soils online course discusses topics like soil structure, soil components, soil texture, cation exchange capacity, and soil pH and teaches the fundamental concepts of how soil functions to improve the air and water to produce wholesome food.
