Soil Wealth ICP Nutrition Resource Hub: Self Assessment

About the self-assessment
This self assessment will help you identify your current knowledge and guide you to the learning resources most relevant to you. Whether you're a grower or an agronomist, you can learn at your own pace and focus on the topics that you are most interested in and matter most to your work.

Start by completing a short self-assessment. There are no right or wrong answers. Simply select the option that best reflects your current knowledge and experience for each topic.

How to use the self-assessment
When completing the self-assessment, note down your average score for each topic, as this will determine your recommended learning pathway. This is ment as a guide only and the topics are free to explore as you like.

Average score	Learning pathway
1-2	It's recommended that you start here as a priority learning area
2-3	This topic is recommended
3-4	This topic is optional, and the content will provide a refresh of your knowledge
4-5	Your knowledge is advanced in this area, but you may still find new concepts or food for thought by looking through the resources

Privacy
Your responses will be used only to personalise your learning experience and recommend relevant resources. Individual responses will remain confidential and will not be shared with other participants. Any reporting of results will be aggregated and de-identified.

Let's get started and build your knowledge of crop nutrition and soil health.
