Europe takes a decisive step to protect one of our most precious resources. Today, the first-ever Soil Monitoring Law enters into force. It improves soil health, strengthens food security and enhances resilience to natural disasters. More: link.europa.eu/MfJ3GP

An infographic illustrating the goal to make EU soils healthier by 2050. The top text reads: "SOILS PROVIDE 95% OF OUR FOOD, YET MANY SOILS ARE UNHEALTHY." A diagram compares the soil health between 2020 and 2050. The 2020 diagram shows a light-brown soil cross-section with a small plant, stating "LESS THAN 40% ARE HEALTHY." The 2050 diagram shows a rich, dark-brown soil cross-section with healthy plants, stating "ALL SOILS ARE HEALTHY." The text between them describes the EU objective: "Supports our health" and "Protects against droughts, wildfires & flooding."

Dry conditions ☀️ allow sowing👨‍🌾 campaign to catch up. According to the November edition of the JRC MARS Bulletin - crop monitoring in Europe🇪🇺, favourable temperatures 🌡️ and soil moisture conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing.

average to above-average temperatures and drier-than-usual conditions helped farmers to accelerate sowing, and were favourable for the initial development of recently sown crops.

Science takes time - a lot of time. Time that is more and more difficult to make available because of increased workloads. Time that exceeds the temporary contracts of postdocs and PhDs. I'll illustrate this using our paper published in Nature yesterday. 🧵 (1/x) www.nature.com/articles/s41...
