Currently, there is no EU-wide legislation specifically on soil, although many policy instruments relevant to soil protection are in place. Under the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030, part of the European Green Deal, the European Commission presented a new EU soil strategy for 2030, with the aim of having all EU soil ecosystems in a healthy condition by 2050. To achieve this objective, on 5 July 2023 it tabled a proposal for a soil monitoring and resilience directive, laying down measures for monitoring ...

A Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Ambiente e Desenvolvimento de 1992 representou um grande passo em frente para a preservação da biodiversidade e a proteção da natureza graças à adoção da Convenção sobre a Diversidade Biológica (CDB). Em 2011, a UE assumiu o compromisso de travar a perda de biodiversidade e a degradação dos serviços ecossistémicos na UE até 2020. Ainda não foram atingidos outros objetivos previstos na Diretiva «Habitats» ou na Convenção sobre o Comércio Internacional das Espécies ...

This study explains how threats to soils and soil services are linked to agricultural soil management, how threats can be mitigated, and which barriers complicate this. It highlights trade-offs and synergies that exist between different interests affected by soil management, such as climate change mitigation, water and air quality, biodiversity, food security and farm income. Conservation of peatland and extensive agro-forestry systems, and protecting soils against sealing, erosion and compaction ...

No quadro do projeto da STOA sobre «Opções tecnológicas para alimentar 10 mil milhões de pessoas», o presente relatório analisa a forma como os conceitos, práticas e tecnologias de gestão da agricultura, incluindo o cultivo seletivo de plantas, poderão permitir uma intensificação sustentável da produção vegetal, com o objetivo de aumentar a produção alimentar e apoiar o abastecimento alimentar. O objetivo de intensificação sustentável consiste em produzir mais géneros alimentícios a partir da mesma ...

A água constitui um recurso natural essencial, incluído na política de utilização eficiente dos recursos da União Europeia, bem como nos quadros políticos globais das Nações Unidas. Tanto a qualidade como a quantidade da água desempenham um papel determinante na gestão sustentável deste recurso natural. A agricultura depende de muitos recursos naturais, entre os quais a água. As alterações climáticas podem aumentar as pressões já existentes tanto no que concerne ao setor da água como ao setor agrícola ...

Currently, the world's population uses more natural resources than the Earth can sustainably provide…

Agriculture plays an important role in the provision of a wide range of public goods in Europe, particularly regarding the environment and rural vitality. Appropriate policies are required to secure adequate provision in future. The Common Agricultural Policy potentially has a key role. This report examines some of the issues involved in reorienting the CAP for this purpose and proposes how it could be modified to contribute to the provision of public goods more effectively in the future.

Soil degradation is a natural process accelerated by human activities and involves both the physical loss (erosion) and the reduction in quality of topsoil associated with nutrient decline and contamination. It has been caused by a number of factors many of which are tied to human development as deforestation, overexploitation, overgrazing, and industrialization. They have both localised and widespread impacts and affect soil quality for agriculture. This study aims to present the current situation ...

Executive summary This report sets out to provide an integrated picture of land degradation issues and actions within the EU. Findings from literature, academic research and policy analysis are brought together within this study, in order to explain: the extent of degradation to date in Europe and globally; the drivers and pressures leading to this; the impacts of degradation both directly upon the land and indirectly in relation to inter alia water resources, climate change, food production, biodiversity ...

The current Commission proposal concerning "The placing on the market of plant protection products", updating Directive 91/414, and the E. Parliament first reading decision contain the 'cut-off' or exclusion criteria which, if adopted would have a devastating effect on farmers’ ability to grow a significant number of products. They do not recognise the critical importance of pesticides in controlling and eliminating crop diseases and pests and in increasing crop yields across the EU. The aim of ...
