An infographic illustrating the goal to make EU soils healthier by 2050. The top text reads: "SOILS PROVIDE 95% OF OUR FOOD, YET MANY SOILS ARE UNHEALTHY." A diagram compares the soil health between 2020 and 2050. The 2020 diagram shows a light-brown soil cross-section with a small plant, stating "LESS THAN 40% ARE HEALTHY." The 2050 diagram shows a rich, dark-brown soil cross-section with healthy plants, stating "ALL SOILS ARE HEALTHY." The text between them describes the EU objective: "Supports our health" and "Protects against droughts, wildfires & flooding."

Europe takes a decisive step to protect one of our most precious resources.

Today, the first-ever Soil Monitoring Law enters into force.

It improves soil health, strengthens food security and enhances resilience to natural disasters.
