Soil sustain life on the Earth, our own and that of our travel companions. Let us take care of it. Wishes for the World Soil Day.

Il #clima è impazzito e i disastri ambientali di questi giorni lo confermano. Non basta più conservare la natura esistente: è necessario ripristinarla. ✍️Abbiamo un'ultima occasione, la Nature Restoration Law ► https://t.co/Q40VA4HH8N

#consumodisuolo Uno dei pochi lembi di pianura del Comune di Bologna non ancora cementificati, sacrificato per gli ennesimi distributori di carburanti. Uno a marchio Enercoop. @Coopitalia @coopalleanza @comunebologna

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A1/2 I fear that there may be an inequity in benefiting practices that are more suited to some geographical areas of Europe than others. The risk is to have too much emphasis on northern oriented measures such as #peatlands and #grasslands #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A1/1 I think there could be a lot of potential in the CAP for carbon farming. CAP, together with #EUSoilStrategy 2030, is the policy that can most determine its success. #eaAgriFood

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A5./2
We have to consider that storing carbon in the soil is a good solution, but it is a slow and reversible process. #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A5/1. I think it is an opportunity, without over-emphasising this instrument in relation to the overall dimension of the climate change problem.

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A4./2 Of course, there must also be scientific experimentation that indisputably shows the results achieved, without fear of showing failures too. #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A4./1 It will be important to have demonstration projects, not only for professionals but also for the general public, and information campaigns. E.g. https://t.co/uLffkFWiVv #eaAgriFood

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A3./2 This is probably physiological, but I would add some effort for the sustainable renewable energy production from agriculture (e.g not not ground-mounted photovoltaics, or biogas from dedicated crops) #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A3./1 It seems that #CarbonStorage will be dominant respect to #GHGEmission reduction from the agricultural sector, as you can see from the result of the survey. #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@gerardofortuna Farmers, foresters are the managers of lands, the most important. Healthy food production is a primary need, but land should provide also other ecosystem services. Farmers can be the key actors on this #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A2/2 I don't think we can use point measurements, except in a calibration phase. Remote sensing can make a great contribution to monitoring changes in land use. And the #EUSoilObservatory at the @EU_ScienceHub will play a key role #eaAgriFood

[Ciro Gardi @cirogardi]

@eaAgriFood @EUAgri A2/1 The problem will be to identify simple and effective approaches and methods, which will allow a correct evaluation of the objectives achieved by those who manage the land: Farmers, livestock farmers, forestry operators. #eaAgriFood
