Soil initiatives

PEOPLE4SOIL 

Soil is a vital, limited, non-renewable and irreplaceable resource: the welfare of current and future generations depends on the health of soils. People 4 Soil is a free and open network of European NGOs, research institutes, farmers associations and environmental groups. We want Europe to recognize soil as a common good essential for our lives.

Building on solid, scientific documentation and concrete actions on the ground, the

“4 per 1000 Initiative: soils for food security and climate”

aims to show that food security and combating climate change are mutually complementary and to ensure that agriculture is a source of solutions. This initiative consists of a voluntary action plan under the Global Climate Action Agenda (GCAA) , backed by an ambitious research program.

The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative was launched in September 2011 and is open to all those interested in developing a coherent platform for promoting the translation of expert knowledge on soil biodiversity into environmental policy and sustainable land management for the protection and enhancement of ecosystem services.
