Healthy soils underpin productive ecosystems, support biodiversity and strengthen resilience to climate and environmental pressures. Yet soil health is often overlooked in nature restoration planning.

Bridging Policy and Practice
A new AI4SoilHealth policy brief explores how Europe’s emerging Soil Monitoring Law and Nature Restoration Regulation can work together to deliver more effective restoration outcomes. Drawing on discussions from the first AI4SoilHealth Cross-Policy Soil Dialogue, the brief highlights the importance of integrating soil health into restoration planning, monitoring and decision-making.
From Data to Action
The brief examines how soil monitoring data, field measurements, remote sensing and digital tools can help policymakers and practitioners track restoration progress and design more targeted interventions. It also outlines recommendations for improving coordination between policy frameworks and ensuring soil data supports real-world restoration action.
