10 new EJP SOIL funded research projects will focus on agricultural ecosystem services, above and below ground. The objective is to improve soil health, soil carbon sequestration and reduce the effects of climate change on agricultural production.

A key deliverable of the EU Biodiversity Strategy and the EU Green Deal was the release of a new EU soil strategy on the 17th of November 2021. According to the EU Soil Strategy for 2030, protection, sustainable use and restoration of soil must become the new normal. Urgent action and a legislative proposal on soil health, increased research and mobilizing societal engagement and financial resources shall enable making soils and ecosystems more resilient and healthy by 2050.
