Offer DescriptionIssuesSoils are the backbone of healthy and vibrant ecosystems, providing substrates and physical, chemical and biological functions necessary for life. But soils are constantly threatened by pollution, creating a significant risk to human health and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The EU Soil Strategy 2030 sets out a framework and concrete measures to protect, restore and ensure that soil is used sustainably. It sets out a vision and targets to achieve healthy soils by 2050, with concrete actions by 2030.Specific objectivesEDAPHOS is a R&I project that aims to implement innovative nature-based technologies for monitoring polluted soils and remediation to accelerate their reclamation and ensure that the processes developed can integrate a commercial offer.
