Teaching and training on soil organic carbon (SOC) is key if we are to take advantage of the many benefits of maintaining and enhancing SOC. Not least, a good background and understanding of SOC is needed by the academic, agricultural and land management communities if land management is to be used effectively for climate change mitigation. This report is a scoping study, providing a first look at the resources and provision for the teaching and training of SOC mainly in academia but also in selected international programs and initiatives. It is not a definitive study but instead provides an insight into SOC teaching and training, identifying commonalities and trends which may be worthy of future investigation. The report draws on three sources of information; two previous CIRCASA reports, an analysis of international programs and initiatives and a survey of academic stakeholders.
