European crop production is to remain competitive while reducing environmental impacts, requiring development and uptake of effective soil-improving cropping systems. The overall aim of Soilcare is to identify and evaluate promising soil improving cropping systems and agronomic techniques increasing profitability and sustainability across scales in Europe. A trans-disciplinary approach will be used to evaluate benefits and drawbacks of a new generation of soil improving cropping systems, incorporating all relevant bio-physical, socio-economic and political aspects.
The following datasets are collected in the SoilCare project:
- Database on existing cropping systems in Europe (WP2)
- Database with information obtained from stakeholders (WP3, WP7)
- Monitoring database (WP5)
- Dataset of information on cropping systems at European level (WP6)
