SIEUSOIL H2020 Project

Investing in research is the key in gathering the best data and developing the best solutions for sustainable soil management. Spend a few minutes to listen to our second episode and learn what the project has achieved during the first 18 months of its operation and how SIEUSOIL is identified with the EU’s strategic research agenda on soils for the years to come.

SIEUSOIL – will design, implement and test a shared China-EU Web Observatory platform that will provide Open Linked Data to monitor status and threats of soil and assist in decision making for sustainable support of agroecosystem functions, in view of the projected climate change.  The Observatory platform will through customizable modules support the wise management of soil at field level and will provide showcase of good practices on soil management both for EU and China. The final target will be to support sustainable management of soil, increase land productivity sustainably, reduce crop yield variability across time and space, and support the policy formulation process. Innovative practices and tools will be tested in SIEUSOIL and their impact will be assessed for improved soil fertility and land suitability. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, under grant agreement No. 818346.
