Project: Innovative Soil Management Practices across Europe

Acronym i-SoMPE
Duration 01/02/2021 - 31/03/2022
Project Topic Innovative soil management practices (SMP) and agricultural systems are promoted to enhance ecosystem services in order to minimise soil threats and sustain agriculture in a climate change context. A comprehensive stocktake of SMPs and their ability to succeed on multiple goals, agricultural production, ecosystem services, biogeochemical cycles, is missing. By using a surveying approach, i-SoMPE will aim to documents these innovative farming practice. The data gathered will be synthesized considering technical and ecological constrains and socio-economic barriers. Context-specific thematic maps will be provided to guide policy makers to the most efficient innovative SMPs as climate-smart sustainable tools.
