Up to 70% of soils in Europe are in bad condition. This poses a very urgent problem: healthy soils are the very basis of healthy ecosystems and key ecosystem services, such as #biodiversity, water buffering and filtering, carbon storage and food production. No #healthysoils = no healthy future.
Therefore, restoring European soils is long overdue. In July 2023, the European Commission published its proposal for a Soil Monitoring Law. The European Parliament has voted on the proposal: we ask to support a strong law to restore our soils!
On the 16th of April, with the European Environmental Bureau, we organized an hybrid event "Rooting for Healthy Soils in Europe". In the framework of the Horizon Europe project SOLO Soils For Europe, the event gathered policymakers, scientists and civil society to dig into some key aspects and needs regarding soil health and protection! Among others, Sébastien Mouret (EurEau), Vera Silva (Wageningen University & Research) and Tuur Vandeweyer joined the discussion.
The event is organised in the framework of the horizon Europe project ‘Soils For Europe - SOLO’.
