Do you know how well water moves through your soil? Functions such as drainage, aeration and erosion prevention all rely on soil infiltration capacity. Watch the video to find out how to measure this with a Wooding infiltrometer. @DigitSoil

Our pilot Soil Health Viewer has launched! 🚀 The platform combines AI, earth observation & soil data to provide high-resolution insights into soil condition & change over time: ai4soilhealth.eu/soil-health… Let us know what you think! ai4soilhealth.eu/help-us-imp… @opengeohub

We’re moving closer to a “real-time” warning system for Europe’s soils 🌍 Find out more in our latest blog from Dr Mehdi Afshar: ai4soilhealth.eu/mapping-soi…

New research unveils global soil erosion susceptibility. In this study of 1.48 billion ha of cropland, findings reveal 36% is highly susceptible to single erosion processes, with 18% facing dual threats. Read the paper by @P_Borrelli_ et al. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @UnivRoma3

1) We visited the @neiker_BRTA research farm to see some of the data collection methods being used by the project and hear about the research they are doing into #regenerative sheep #mobgrazing and its benefits to #soilhealth and farm productivity...

As the first #EMSW closes, there is agreement on the need to collaborate, work with citizens, land managers and farmers at local and regional levels, and ensure access and support is given to emerging technology and innovation through funding, legislation and from the ground up.

"History has shown us the very rise and fall of civilisation has depended on the ability of societies to manage soil" If you want to find out more about #AI4SoilHealth then read this Q+A interview with David Robinson from @UK_CEH. ai4soilhealth.eu/the-scienti… #MissionSoilWeek

Excellent kick off to the session by @benchmarks_eu and @AI4SoilHealth acknowledging variances and challenges in improving soil health at local levels, and the importance of working with land managers to enable them to apply data and science to their variations

The panel at #SoilMissionWeek think that there is currently very low public engagement around #soilhealth Do we need more #citizenscience empowering communities to monitor their own local soil landscapes? Could #AI powered apps and universally agreed indicators help with this?

#missionsoilweek is discussing why invest in soil health? We are talking about a systemic shift needed to deliver a change in soil health. This will take investment. Investors want to understand risks, impact and costs. Should we ask instead what is the cost of doing nothing?
