About 65% of the agricultural land (2.3 billion ha) is degraded , mainly due to poor fertility management practices, erosion, and acidification (Zingore et al. Citation 2015). Severely degraded soils account for about 350 million ha or 20–25% of the total land area, of which about 100 million ha is estimated to be ...

A proposed Horizon EU mission provides the blueprint for setting on a path towards sustainable management. One of the proposed targets is to make sure that at least 75% of all soils are in a healthy state by 2030. The EU Observatory launched today will monitor the progress towards the achievement of these goals.

is defined as a set of fertility management practices that necessarily include the use of fertilizer, organic inputs, and improved germplasm combined with the knowledge on how to adapt these practices to local conditions, aiming at maximizing agronomic use efficiency of the applied nutrients and improving crop productivity (Vanlauwe et al. 2010 ...
The erodibility dataset overcomes the problems of limited data availability for assessment and presents a high quality resource for modellers who aim at erosion estimation on local/regional, national or scale. The new proposed dataset has also been verified against local/regional/national studies with very good results.
