November 10, 2025

Dr. Bruno Basso was awarded the Soil Science Research Award from the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA), one of the highest honors for advancing scientific knowledge in the field. Dr. Basso was presented with the award November 10th at the SSSA’s CANVAS conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Soil Science Research Award recognizes outstanding contributions to soil science, including unusual research creativity, excellence in reasoning ability and technical skill, and originality and significance to basic soil science.

“It’s an honor to receive this award from the SSSA, as I’ve dedicated my career to soil science and better understanding how we can improve soil health long term,” Basso said. “Soil is life, and we need to continue to improve its health. Healthy soils are an essential component of all environments, especially in agriculture. As growers and ranchers are tasked with producing more food on less land, it’s paramount that we’re good stewards of soil and view it as a precious, finite commodity.”
