What we do

The EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) aims to be the principal provider of reference data and knowledge at EU-level for all matters relating to soil.

We support soil health through an EU-wide monitoring system and the Soil Health Dashboard.
We advance soil research via publications and the Horizon Europe Mission. We raise awareness through events like the EUSO Forum.
We inform policy with research and data, and foster collaboration among experts to address issues like erosion, pollution, and biodiversity.
