The SOILGUARD Final Conference brought together an inspiring mix of researchers, policymakers, land managers, and industry representatives in Brussels. With partners such as reNature, the LAMASUS project, DG AGRI, DG ENV, NABU e.V., and John Deere joining the discussion, we reflected on what our project has achieved, and more importantly, where we go from here.
At the heart of the event was one central question:
HOW CAN OUR GROWING UNDERSTANDING OF SOIL BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM HEALTH BE TRANSLATED INTO MEANINGFUL, ON-THE-GROUND CHANGE? KEY RESEARCH MESSAGES PRESENTED BY THE SOILGUARD TEAM:

Join us on March 31, 2025, at Residence Palace, Belgium, for the SOILGUARD event, where experts, policymakers, and stakeholders will explore the potential of soil biodiversity for sustainable land management. The event will feature discussions on innovative research, soil health measurement tools, and strategies for policy integration, including the SoilGuardians App and the Soil Monitoring and Resilience Directive. Don’t miss the opportunity to shape the future of soil biodiversity!
