Soil and land use research is fragmented in Europe. Now, researchers and practitioners have developed a comprehensive agenda on key knowledge gaps that research needs to address for benefit of society now and in the future.
Throughout Europe, research on sustainable land use and soil management involves different disciplines dealing with questions in fields as diverse as spatial planning, biology, agriculture, archaeology, hydrogeology, sociology or economics. A more integrated approach and better coordination of research and innovation actions within Europe is needed to make better use of research in order to close knowledge gaps for a sustainable use of natural resources.
