Teagasc signed the EU Soil Mission Manifesto during the Council of the European Union's Presidency. The manifesto commits to supporting farmers and land managers to protect soil health for food production and climate. This initiative supports the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’, which aims to establish 100 soil living labs and lighthouses by 2030.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The manifesto recognizes that soil is essential, as approximately 95% of the world’s food is produced directly or indirectly from soil. It addresses the fact that over 60% of soils in the European Union are currently in an unhealthy condition. This commitment aims to mitigate pressures from unsustainable management practices, pollution, and climate change.
