Super soil: How LIFE protects what lies beneath our feet

Soil is a vital natural resource that is crucial to Europe’s ecosystems, agriculture, and economy. It is the foundation upon which food is grown, water is filtered, and biodiversity thrives. However, soil degradation has become a growing concern, posing serious environmental, social, and economic challenges. The LIFE Programme has, since 2005, been working to raise awareness, develop innovative techniques, and implement sustainable management practices that promote healthy soil.
