→ Restaurar todas las áreas terrestres y marinas de la UE que lo requieran
Recuperar nuestros ecosistemas es una prioridad
🥬95% of the food we eat comes from soil
🐜25% of world’s biodiversity is hosted there
‼️ over 60% of the EU’s soils are not in a good condition
The @EUCouncil has adopted its position to put the EU on a pathway to healthy soils by 2050.
