Soil is a crucial, living and non-renewable natural resource, essential #ForOurPlanet, our economy & society
It provides food, biomass and raw materials & increases our resilience to #ClimateChange
But +60% of #EUSoils are unhealthy, and getting worse 👉 https://europa.eu/!nm6QtD https://t.co/0vktUmNJ7W

To bring soil back to health by 2050, our proposed #EUSoils Monitoring Law will
🌱create a monitoring framework for all 🇪🇺 soils
🌱make sustainable soil management the norm

The 🇪🇺 Soil Law is first & foremost for our farmers, landowners & all Europeans.
Farmers will be able to ask for advice, trainings & soil health certificates that’ll boost their business value.
Healthy soils mean nutritious food & future food security.
