Key outputs for soil management:

• New information and communication technology (ICT) tools and improved existing tools, based on farmers’ needs, that will help farmers to protect and manage soils
• Climate smart sustainable agricultural soil management guidelines for practitioners
• Identification and analysis of barriers for the implementation of novel technologies for climate smart sustainable agricultural soil management and of the ways to overcome them
• Assessment of innovative agricultural practices in their capacity to reach multiple soil related objectives (production, biodiversity, environmental effects, climate change adaptation and mitigation)

According to stakeholders who will take part in the EJP SOIL, there is a need for knowledge sharing and tools that can be applied in soil management, but also a better overall recognition of the challenges. This calls for a continuous dialogue and collaboration between farmers, soil scientists, advisors, organisations and authorities.
