EU Missions:
Soil Deal for Europe
7
• 60-70% of EU soils are unhealthy
• soil is fragile resource that needs
protection for future generations
• the Mission leads the transition
towards healthy soils by:
• R&I programme
• 100 living labs and lighthouses
• harmonised soil monitoring
• people’s awareness
• the 8 Mission objectives ➔ ➔ ➔
“75% of European soils as healthy or
significantly improved by 2030”
BENCHMARKS
8
▪ develop Integrated Soil Health Monitoring
Framework with stakeholders from 24 Living
Labs across Europe
▪ deliver harmonised and cost-effective indicator
measurements for soil health assessment, in
which the link between indicators, soil functions
and ecosystem services is clearly demonstrated
▪ test and validate the SH&F mission indicators as
well as the BENCHMARKS additional indicators
for the different land-uses (agriculture, forestry,
urban) and different scales (local, landscape,
region, Europe), and establish context specific
thresholds for these indicators
▪ develop a European broad sampling framework,
methodology and protocols, which can support
relevant EU policy, regulation and monitoring
needs
