Preserving agricultural soils in the EU

date:  22/08/2017

A recent study by the European Parliament’s Think Tank  examines how threats to soils and their related services are linked to agricultural soil management and how they can be mitigated.

The publication highlights trade-offs and synergies between aspects affected by soil management such as climate change mitigation, water and air quality, biodiversity, food security and farm income. It ends with a set of recommendations for policy actions.
