This module analyzes soil quality through several physical and biological indicators, as well as the degradation processes affecting agricultural land.
Contribution to resilience
Healthy soils are fundamental to long-term agricultural productivity and the ability to adapt to environmental stresses. Soil quality has a direct influence on the resilience of agroecosystems, guaranteeing an ecologically self-regulating system, even in the face of climate change.
