AGREMSOIL’s soil treatment system will be put in practice in one of the FRUCA farms in July

5 April, 2022/in news agremsoil, Stakeholder Platform /by Marina IDConsortium

On April 1^st, 2022, Novedades Agricolas y IMIDA visited the AgremSoil project´s replication and prototype activities farm, provided by the agricultural company FRUCA. Following the meeting held on March 15^th, after having visited one farm located in the municipality of Blanca (Murcia) to determine the most appropriate characteristics of the plot, it was decided to select this one, located in Fuente Álamo (Murcia).

The farm is dedicated to the horticultural crop rotations in the open air: various types of lettuce, melon, brassicas such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. Both, Novedades Agrícolas (NOVAGRIC) and IMIDA, hereby express their gratitude to FRUCA for the given opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of the AGREMSOIL system in an open-air plot of approximately 3,000 m2. The installation of the equipment is scheduled for the second half of June in order to carry out the treatment in July.

Soil Health Initiative – protecting, sustainably managing and restoring EU soils

16 March, 2022/in news agremsoil /by Marina IDConsortium

The European Commission, through DG Environment (Unit D1 Land Use & Management) is working in a new initiative on Soil Health in order to contribute to the overall goals of the European Green Deal, to existing EU medium- and long-term policy objectives for 2030 and 2050, and particularly to the vision that all soil ecosystems should be in healthy condition by 2050.

The project LIFE AgRemSO3il has contributed with a comment to the call for evidence launched in this regard. This is a participatory process targeted to public and stakeholders on the Commission’s future legislative work so they can provide feedback on the Commission’s understanding of the problem and possible solutions and give any relevant information.

Soil Health Initiative – protecting, sustainably managing and restoring EU soils

The comment summarises some project results and states that the use of ozone in agriculture is not allowed at present, and there is a legal gap regarding its application for remediation purposes. The results of the project can provide new views for an open debate and also help to underpin any decision-making process regarding farm soils’ remediation.
