    Healthy soil is essential to meet the climate and biodiversity objectives of the European Green Deal. The 2030 EU Biodiversity Strategy announced the update of the EU Soil Thematic Strategy to address soil and land degradation and achieve land degradation neutrality by 2030. To achieve this goal, soil fertility has to be protected, erosion and sealing reduced, organic matter increased, contaminated sites identified, degraded soils restored and their good ecological status defined.
