This session, presented by Arwyn Jones from the Joint Research Council, focuses on the critical role of the implementation of the Soil Monitoring Law. As Europe advances toward more sustainable land management, the Soil Monitoring Law establishes a framework for tracking soil health, enabling data-driven policies and practices. The session highlights the importance of harmonized soil data collection, cross-sector collaboration, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies to meet the growing demands of soil monitoring and stewardship across the European Union.
