Supporting harmonised agricultural soil information and reporting
The objective is the development of an agreed knowledge base and database to improve:
- the European contribution towards international reporting on soils
- the accuracy of European agricultural policies
Research projects will be conducted to:
- develop a prototype distributed system to integrate agricultural soil information across Europe and streamline the data flow to ESDAC
- provide thematic databases and maps of agricultural soil indicators, properties, and maps of agricultural soil properties and management systems
- set target values of agricultural SOC, agricultural soil degradation and fertility
- develop methods to account, monitor and map agricultural soil carbon, fertility and degradation
All activities, progress and achievements will be announced and addressed here with further information and link.
