A series of webinars on ‘Envisioning the future of soil health monitoring’ are now available to watch for free. The five webinars – from AI 4 Soil Health, a Mission Soil project – bring experts in the field together to dig deep into different aspects of the topic.
The following webinars, hosted by the Soil Association, are now available to watch on YouTube:
Unlocking the power of open data for soil health
Join one of the creators of the Soil Health Data Cube, OpenGeoHub Foundation, for this webinar, exploring how AI, open data and new research is transforming soil health monitoring and management across Europe. This webinar will showcase how open, high-resolution geospatial data is unlocking new ways to model soil systems, predict climate change impacts, and drive regenerative agricultural practices.
Making the case for soil health monitoring
Why does soil health monitoring matter? What are some of the latest tools scientists are developing to make it easier? Farmers, policy makers and scientists discuss the future of soil science, covering soil monitoring practices, and grounding key concepts in the current EU farming and land use landscape.
Predicting the future of soil health with AI
What role can AI play in assessing soil degradation, mapping vulnerabilities, and identifying the drivers of soil health decline? Can machine learning and process-based models provide reliable insights into Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) dynamics? And how can indicator frameworks be integrated into modelling projects to strengthen our ability to track and safeguard soil health? Join an expert panel exploring the opportunities and limitations of emerging technologies.
Building soil monitoring into policy
Against the backdrop of the recent Soil Monitoring Law, this webinar delves into how soil science is being used to support implementation of European policies. What data do policymakers need to protect soils, and how will the new EU Soil Monitoring Law help deliver it? How can projects like AI4SH support member states in turning the Soil Monitoring Law into effective monitoring systems on the ground? Find out the answers to these questions and more.
Decoding soil biology for soil health
How can biological indicators give us a clearer picture of soil health? Can real-time soil biology measurements, combined with satellite data and models turn microbial signals into actionable intelligence for farm nutrient management? How do land use, climate and vegetation shape soil biodiversity and function across Europe, and what does that mean for monitoring and policy? Learn more about how soil science is advancing our understanding of the living processes that sustain healthy soils.
The webinars are a must see for anyone interested in the future of soil health. Watch them now! Find out more about AI 4 Soil Health on its website.
