Making the case for soil health monitoring

Making the case for soil health monitoring

Part of the “Envisioning the future of soil health monitoring” series for AI4SoilHealth, hosted by Soil Association.

The webinar will bring together the perspectives of farmers, policy makers and scientists on soil monitoring practices, and ground key concepts in the current EU farming and land use landscape. The panel will discuss the value of soil monitoring from three vital perspectives: on-the-ground practice, scientific research, and policy development. Speakers:

• Karen Fisher, farming advisor, Soil Association
• Nils Broothaerts, policy specialist, EU Soil Observatory, part of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC)
• Fatemah Hateffard, soil scientist, Stockholm University

“What’s exciting is the shift from reactive to proactive land management. With emerging technologies like AI, in-field sensors, and geospatial tools, we now have the ability not just to benchmark soil health, but to build predictive insights that help anticipate local challenges like drought, flooding or nutrient loss.”
