💡 The PREPSOIL Knowledge Hub is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in improving soil health and exploring sustainable agricultural practices. 🌾 Among the many contents available, one can find extensive information on cover crops - an essential tool for soil protection and enhancement. 🔍 Cover crops play a crucial role in sustainable farming: one significant advantage is their potential to control soil-borne diseases affecting field and horticultural crops. 👉 Want to know more about cover crops and their role in improving soil health?

🌱 Soil health is crucial for a thriving ecosystem and sustainability in agriculture and the European food supply. 💡 Within this context, the Soil Mission aims to develop a comprehensive, harmonized soil monitoring framework. A critical component of this mission is integrating existing monitoring programs and improving methodologies, an effort that spans across Europe. 🌿 To tackle this issue, one of PREPSOIL goals is to bridge this gap by extending the findings from agricultural soil projects to other types of soils. 📃 Want to know more about how PREPSOIL is dealing with soil monitoring?
