Soil is a non-renewable resource and one of the foundations of our ecosystem functioning.

The European Commission has identified healthy soils as essential for achieving climate neutrality, a clean and circular economy, halting desertification and land degradation, and reversing biodiversity loss.

Healthy soils are also one of the pillars of productive and sustainable agriculture.

Today, soils face multiple threats such as erosion, floods, landslides, contamination and loss of soil organic matter and biodiversity.

In agriculture, several available tools and practices can support soil health and facilitate its role in combating and adapting to climate change.

Conservation agriculture and regenerative agriculture are two of the systems based on no-till farming that dramatically reduce the carbon footprint by transforming the soil from a carbon emitter to a carbon sink, counteracting soil threats and increasing the soil's capacity to retain nutrients and water, optimising the amount of fertiliser needed to feed plants and the pesticides applied to them.

We invite you to join us for a timely discussion on the role agriculture can play and the tools and practices farmers can use to address the challenges facing this non-renewable resource.
