ABSTRACT
Sustainable management of agricultural soils is crucial to improving their health, increasing food security, the quantity and quality of surface and groundwater, accumulating organic carbon, and improving the state of biodiversity. It also contributes to the mitigation of climate change and the adaptation of agriculture to these changes. The publication aims to present solutions for the sustainable use of agricultural soils in climate change conditions on the example of the European Common Soil Program (acronym EJP SOIL). The EJP SOIL project "Towards climate-smart sustainable development of agricultural soils" involving 26 scientific and research institutions from 24 European countries began its activity in 2020. The results of the undertaken activities, including surveys, meta-analyses, and extensive statistical research, as well as the effects of cooperation with officials, for five years initiated collaboration among over 400 scientists to improve knowledge about sustainable management of agricultural soils, taking into account the soil and climate zones of Europe. The publication presents the multi-threaded nature of the EJP SOIL project and related internal and external research projects, presents the scientific issues discussed, and makes recommendations for agricultural practice and shaping future European policy. In addition, it indicates the activities of the EJP SOIL project addressed to various stakeholder groups in the field of disseminating knowledge about soil health and the ecosystem services they provide, presenting the goals and scope of operation of the National Soil Hub, which was established in November 2023 on the initiative of the project.
