UK Research and Innovation is joining two research funders in the United States to fund research on soil, in one of a series of bilateral collaborations between the two countries announced in recent months.
The Signals in the Soil programme, announced on 18 February, is a joint initiative between UKRI, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the US Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
