SUMMARY:Making the case for soil health monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Join the second session in the series “Envisioning the future of soil health monitoring”\, hosted by the Soil Association. \nBook your ticket via eventbrite here.  \n\n\nMaking the case for soil health monitoring\nWhy does soil health monitoring matter? What are some of the latest tools scientists are developing to make it easier? And what ambitions do policy makers have for monitoring frameworks of the future? Sign up to this free webinar to join leading experts to discuss these topics and learn more about the future of soil science. \nThe webinar will bring together the perspectives of farmers\, policy makers and scientists on soil monitoring practices\, and ground key concepts in the current EU farming and land use landscape. The panel will discuss the value of soil monitoring from three vital perspectives: on-the-ground practice\, scientific research\, and policy development. \nJoin: \n\nKaren Fisher\, farming advisor\, Soil Association\nNils Broothaerts\, policy specialist\, EU Soil Observatory\, part of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC)\nFatemah Hateffard\, soil scientist\, Stockholm University\n\n“What’s exciting is the shift from reactive to proactive land management. With emerging technologies like AI\, in-field sensors\, and geospatial tools\, we now have the ability not just to benchmark soil health\, but to build predictive insights that help anticipate local challenges like drought\, flooding or nutrient loss.” \nKaren Fisher\, Soil Association \nThis webinar series for AI 4 Soil Health explores how AI\, open data and new research is transforming soil health monitoring and management across Europe. \nFind out more about the AI 4 Soil Health project: https://ai4soilhealth.eu/about \n\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect? \n\nLearn why soil monitoring matters from the perspectives of both farmers and policy makers\, through hearing from Karen Fisher\, Farming Advisor at the Soil Association and Nils Broothaerts\, Scientific Project Officer for the EU Soil Observatory\, part of the European Commission Joint Research Centre.\nHear from soil scientist Fatemeh Hateffard of Stockholm University about the indicators we measure in the ground and the new technology\, including spectroscopy and beyond\, being used to do so.\nAsk your questions to Karen\, Nils and Fatemeh through a live Q&A.\n\nWhat is the relevance of soil monitoring for farmers\, researchers and policy makers? \nThe EU “Soil Monitoring and Resilience Directive”\, agreed in April 2025\, is the first of its kind to set legal standards for assessing and improving soil health across member states. Its goal is for all EU soils to reach a healthy condition by 2050\, supporting broader environmental targets like the European Green Deal. \nBut why is soil monitoring making its way up the agenda? \n\nAcross the EU and UK\, significant areas of soil are under pressure – from everything from compaction to loss of organic matter – and the effects aren’t always visible until productivity declines or flooding worsens.\nSoil biology\, encompassing microorganisms like bacteria and fungi\, is fundamental to nutrient cycling\, organic matter decomposition\, and overall soil fertility.\nRobust soil health data\, derived from consistent measurement practices\, provides policymakers with the evidence. This evidence is needed to create stronger\, more targeted agricultural and environmental policies that are inclusive of soil and ultimately deliver meaningful impact for people\, food\, and the environment.\n\nWho Should Attend? \n\nPolicy makers and civil servants who are engaged in soil-related strategies\, projects\, or regulatory initiatives.\n\n\nResearch leaders and scientific experts involved in soil monitoring programmes\, Living Labs and the development of research and innovation policy recommendations.\n\n\nPractitioners and innovators working on soil health and using or testing new monitoring approaches.\n\n\nStakeholders from civil society\, NGOs\, and grassroots movements with an active interest in soil health.\n\n\nPrivate sector representatives contributing to or benefiting from soil health innovations.

SUMMARY:Unlocking the power of open data for soil health
DESCRIPTION:Join the first session in the series “Envisioning the future of soil health monitoring”\, hosted by the Soil Association. \nBook your place now.  \nJoin one of the creators of the Soil Health Data Cube\, OpenGeoHub Foundation\, for this webinar in the AI 4 Soil Health project’s series\, exploring how AI\, open data and new research is transforming soil health monitoring and management across Europe. \nThis webinar will showcase how open\, high-resolution geospatial data is unlocking new ways to model soil systems\, predict climate change impacts\, and drive regenerative agricultural practices. \n“Only farmers and land managers are the agents of change in a landscape. As an open-source community of researchers\, we hope that by surfacing existing and cutting-edge soil information through space and time\, we can cultivate an environment of self-determination for farmers\, to the benefit of all our children.”\nIchsani Wheeler\, OpenGeoHub Foundation \nFind out more about the data cube \nWhat to Expect?\nLearn how open data infrastructure can support decision-making\, policy\, and innovation within agriculture and land management. \nHear from co-directors of OpenGeoHub Foundation\, Tomislav Hengl and Ichsani Wheeler on their experience of creating data infrastructure in the form of the Soil Health Data Cube\, for policymakers and land managers to better manage soil health. \nSee a live demo of the Soil Health Data Cube in action. \nAsk your questions to OpenGeoHub Foundation through a live Q&A. \nWhat is the significance of the Soil Health Data Cube?\nThis platform is providing the data to enable simulated climate and policy scenarios\, identify at-risk soils and test land-use strategies. It will be an invaluable tool for anyone working to restore soil health and reduce land degradation across Europe. \nThe Soil Health Data Cube offers a “digital twin” of Europe’s soils\, integrating: \nDetailed soil health indicators such as carbon stocks\, pH and biodiversity. \nData on soil pollutants\, excess nutrients and salts. \nHistorical land use and vegetation data. \nWho Should Attend?\nPolicy-makers and civil servants who are engaged in soil-related strategies\, projects\, or regulatory initiatives. \nResearch leaders and scientific experts involved in soil monitoring programmes\, Living Labs and the development of research and innovation policy recommendations. \nPractitioners and innovators working on soil health and using or testing new monitoring approaches. \nStakeholders from civil society\, NGOs\, and grassroots movements with an active interest in soil health. \nPrivate sector representatives contributing to or benefiting from soil health innovations.
