Around 100 students participated in a two-day workshop hosted by the Kraków branch of ITP PIB, on March 31 and April 1, 2025. The event, part of the “Forge of Professionals” project, focused on agriculture and organic farming. The purpose of the workshops was to popularize knowledge about professions related to nature and agriculture. 

 

 Focus on Soil Health

Students explored techniques to improve soil quality, including the use of gypsum as a soil additive. They also learned about the GYPREG project and discussed the pros and cons of gypsum. The workshop included practical experiments in soil analysis, such as pH measurement and aggregate evaluation.
