Description

A key challenge for sustainable intensification of agriculture is to produce increasing amounts of food with less negative environmental impacts. The main goal of SOFT (Steering Organic Farming Transition) is to understand the role of soil biodiversity and networks for a sustainable farming, and the potential use of soil inoculation for soil regeneration. For this, I will use a chronosequence of farmers’ fields throughout The Netherlands that have been converted from conventional to organic farming. Taken together, SOFT will contribute to establish management practices that may help accelerate the transition from conventional farming to a more organic type of farming.
