The next milestone in innomine’s history has been achieved as we – as consortium leaders – organized the first-ever press conference and project kick-off in our life for an amazing project, Soil-X-Change on 23rd Januray 2024.
Soil-X-Change, launched with the participation of 9 European Union countries, which is implemented by the consortium led by innomine in cooperation with the actors responsible for the development of the Hungarian agricultural sector. The importance and details of the project were presented at a press conference by the representatives of the organizations concerned.
Humanity’s own survival depends on preserving the health and productivity of the soil – this is already stated in the European Union’s soil protection strategy for the period up to 2030. Even today, entire value and supply chains as well as economic sectors depend on healthy farmland, which is also why it is essential that more and more detailed information about soils is available and that farmers and agricultural professionals incorporate this information into their daily practice.
Soil-X-Change will help to connect farmers, actors, policy makers, projects, and initiatives to speed up innovation and promote faster, wider co-creation and transposition of innovative solutions into practice. It will contribute to effective Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation by intensifying thematic cooperation between researchers, farmers, and other stakeholders in the EU.
Soil-X-Change will support the green transition, smart agriculture, climate-neutrality, and sustainability areas, as well as enhancing and exchanging the knowledge of the main actors. Soil-X-Change reflects the needs of 151 direct partners, and will collect, combine, harmonise, analyse and integrate the results and data product developed by the different project partners. Soil-X-Change will disseminate and share innovative practices across 9 member countries.
In order to create a healthy agricultural soil and a sustainable food production system, it is absolutely necessary to operate sustainable soil and agricultural practices. These may include the use of cover crops, minimum tillage or crop diversification, which improve the organic carbon stocks of the soil, the structure or water retention capacity of the soil, and which also serve as indicators of sustainable food production and soil management in agro-ecosystems. Sustainable crop production systems protect the natural environment, improve the efficiency of resource use, and integrate ecological, biological, physical and chemical principles without damaging the environment. Although research and development are constantly taking place in agriculture, the results and technologies related to soil management are difficult to reach farmers. In addition, innovative procedures and good solutions have been developed in everyday practice, which should be disseminated as widely as possible in order to preserve healthy agricultural soil. Among other things, the Soil-X-Change project serves this purpose.
