Soil is a living entity; its quality and health are decisive for the quality of life of plants, animals, humans, and all ecosystems. The soil’s capacity for carbon capture and storage, as well as the recycling of other gases, gives it a key role in agriculture, climate regulation, and air quality. The issue of soil also extends to how it is used: arable land, coveted land, occupied land, shared land.

Under the title Land, waste, planet: soil quality for the health of living things, the forum opens exchanges that cross disciplines, challenges, and solutions under different prisms and perspectives: science; agricultural practices and Innovation; geopolitics; public policies and land issues; societal, economic, and financial issues; environment, biodiversity, health, food, etc.
