00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:08.290 align:middle line:84%
SPEAKER 1: We are facing
serious environmental challenges

00:00:08.290 --> 00:00:10.550 align:middle line:84%
and the increasing impacts
of a changing climate.

00:00:10.550 --> 00:00:13.690 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:16.059 align:middle line:84%
You can be part of the
solution by joining the GROW

00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:18.310 align:middle line:84%
Observatory, in which
thousands of people

00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:23.560 align:middle line:84%
are collaborating to observe
and care for the environment.

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:25.210 align:middle line:84%
Amongst the problems
we're exploring

00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:27.370 align:middle line:84%
are soil degradation
and the impact

00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.910 align:middle line:84%
of a changing climate, both
affected by unsustainable food

00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:32.530 align:middle line:90%
growing methods.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:35.500 align:middle line:84%
Through GROW, you will connect
with a community of growers

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:39.010 align:middle line:84%
small scale farmers,
scientists, and policymakers

00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:41.950 align:middle line:84%
who are all working together to
help address these challenges

00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:43.570 align:middle line:90%
and learn from each other.

00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:45.820 align:middle line:84%
Our shared vision as
to support and build

00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:49.990 align:middle line:84%
sustainable custodianship of
the land and soil across Europe.

00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:52.150 align:middle line:84%
You can be one of our
citizen scientists,

00:00:52.150 --> 00:00:54.100 align:middle line:84%
helping inform
international policy

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:58.120 align:middle line:84%
decisions on land use, soil
management, and climate change.

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:00.970 align:middle line:84%
As well as supporting growers
in different countries to share,

00:01:00.970 --> 00:01:04.480 align:middle line:84%
discover, and test sustainable
soil stewardship and growing

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.420 align:middle line:90%
practises.

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:08.470 align:middle line:84%
Join the data to action
course to find out

00:01:08.470 --> 00:01:11.560 align:middle line:84%
how to investigate, enjoy,
and act on open data

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.200 align:middle line:84%
from the GROW Observatory,
generated by people

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.770 align:middle line:84%
passionate about soil,
science, and food growing.

00:01:17.770 --> 00:01:20.560 align:middle line:84%
Discover how to collect and
handle data on your local

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.830 align:middle line:84%
environment and growing plot,
and how to use those data

00:01:23.830 --> 00:01:27.610 align:middle line:84%
to inform your growing practise,
and to interpret data to take

00:01:27.610 --> 00:01:30.280 align:middle line:90%
action under a changing climate.

00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.040 align:middle line:84%
During the course, you will be
given access to exemplar data

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.010 align:middle line:84%
sets generated by Grow
citizen scientists,

00:01:36.010 --> 00:01:38.800 align:middle line:84%
and you will find out about the
results of a GROW polyculture

00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.540 align:middle line:90%
experiment.

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:42.520 align:middle line:84%
These data and
observations can help

00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.520 align:middle line:84%
to inform your own food
growing and improve yields,

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.020 align:middle line:84%
and will give you
insights about how

00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:50.660 align:middle line:84%
to make a positive impact on
the environment around you.

00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:52.450 align:middle line:84%
How can growers and
scientists collaborate

00:01:52.450 --> 00:01:55.390 align:middle line:84%
to discover better ways to
grow and care for the land,

00:01:55.390 --> 00:01:59.050 align:middle line:84%
and contribute to understanding
the global climates?

00:01:59.050 --> 00:02:01.380 align:middle line:84%
How can we move from
data to discoveries,

00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:04.120 align:middle line:84%
and from discoveries to
positive action on soils,

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.860 align:middle line:90%
food, and a changing climate?
