Media Partnership: Healthy soils for sustainable agriculture

Prof. Ettore Capri from the OPERA research center, had the privilege of inviting policymakers, academia, industry and civil society to join us in a lively debate moderated by EURACTIV. Our panelists tackled questions including:- What is cadmium and why it is present in European soils?- What are the latest scientific findings on cadmium in phosphates?- What are the bottlenecks to achieving clean soils in the EU?- What can policymakers do to incite farmers to use cleaner phosphates while preserving the EU’s agriculture sector?- How can we make the population aware of soil pollution and incite the value chain contribute to ‘get clean’?
