The article discusses the EU's ambitious "A Soil Deal for Europe" mission, which aims to address soil degradation and promote sustainable land management. The EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) has developed a Soil Health Dashboard using advanced pan-European datasets to assess soil health based on 18 degradation indicators. The mission, funded with approximately €1 billion, includes the establishment of 100 Living Labs to test and implement sustainable practices in both urban and rural areas. The goal is to achieve healthy soils by 2030, aligning with the EU's Green Deal objectives. The dashboard and Living Labs will help identify and prioritize areas for remediation, contributing to the overall goal of reversing soil degradation and enhancing soil health. The success of the mission will be measured by the effectiveness of on-the-ground actions and the transformation of unhealthy soils into healthy ones.The article discusses the EU's ambitious "A Soil Deal for Europe" mission, which aims to address soil degradation and promote sustainable land management.
