The Conference on Innovations to reduce and remediate farm soil pollution will present the results of three European projects and encourage an open debate about their applications on European policies:
- LIFE Agremsoil demonstrated a new method to remediate soils with pesticide residues combining solarisation and ozonation, reaching a degradation rate of 63% of soil pesticide content;
- Diverfarming developed a strategy for crop diversification providing a lower use of inputs including fertilisers and pesticide; and
- Best4Soil promotes alternative strategies to plant protection products to control soilborne pathogens and nematodes.
