EIP-AGRI seminar: Healthy soils for Europe: sustainable management through knowledge and practice
Healthy soils are fundamental to the sustainable production of food, feed and fibre. In addition, healthy soils also provide many other functions that contribute to human well-being such as water filtering, carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling and biodiversity preservation. Soil health is affected by unsustainable management practices like frequent tillage, which accelerates soil organic matter loss, incorrect use of agrochemicals which leads to soil and water pollution or irrigation practices causing salinisation problems.
