The valuation of land in Austria is based on economic values resulting from the geographical location, transport connections and infrastructural development (water, electricity, etc.). The qualitative value of soils in terms of food security, biodiversity, recreational space and protection against natural hazards cannot be so easily quantified in a generally understandable way and is therefore usually not sufficiently taken into account in terms of a holistic assessment. However, this knowledge is becoming increasingly important for the sustainable use of resources and security of supply. At the same time, the careful use of the resource through the preservation of soil functions (infiltration, binding of CO2, etc.) is an essential building block for the sustainable adaptation of our habitats to climate change. Much of the data that could be used to include the agricultural and qualitative value of soils in planning processes and planning decisions is already publicly available and prepared in thematic maps. However, these require an in-depth examination of project reports and explanatory texts and are primarily aimed at experts (local planners and professionals) in municipal administrations. They are therefore rarely used in practice. The ‘Future Soil’ project aims to raise awareness of the qualitative value of green spaces and agricultural soils among a wide public. A special focus is placed on the central importance of soil as a resource for security of supply.
