In support of the activities associated with the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the SOIL Action of the JRC is collaborating with the European Soil Bureau Network and national Soil Science Societies across Europe to promote the importance of soil for society as a whole and the need for it’s sustainable management and use.

Each country will present a general overview of the soils found on its territory and a soil type that is characteristic or notable for that state.
