Healthy soils are at the heart of the Green Deal for Europe.

Once lost, soils are non-renewable in terms of human lifetimes.

In addition to providing us with food, fibres and fuel, soils play a key role in regulating the Earth’s climate, providing us with clean water, protecting us from floods and preserves our cultural heritage.

The launch of JRC's EU Soil Observatory took take place on 4 December 2020.

The new EU Soil Observatory will be a dynamic and inclusive platform that will provide information and data needed to safeguard soils to the European Commission and the broader soil user community.
