Descripción del proyecto
Regenerar los suelos degradados de Europa
El 70 % de los suelos europeos están degradados. Abordar esta crisis es imperativo, sobre todo en el contexto del pacto sobre el suelo para Europa, cuyo objetivo es que el 75 % de todos los suelos europeos sean saludables o hayan mejorado de forma notable de aquí a 2030. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el objeto del proyecto SoilWise, financiado con fondos europeos, es mejorar la accesibilidad a los datos y conocimientos dispersos y heterogéneos sobre el suelo en Europa, a fin de respaldar una toma de decisiones fundamentada y la Ley sobre la salud del suelo. El proyecto se centra en hacer que estos recursos sean localizables, accesibles, interoperables y reutilizables, así como en fomentar la confianza y la voluntad de compartir y reutilizar esta información tan valiosa. Mediante la colaboración de las partes interesadas, el equipo de SoilWise pretende racionalizar los flujos de trabajo y los repositorios disponibles, mejorando su capacidad de descubrimiento e interconexión.
Objetivo
More than ever, soil health is an issue, as recent assessments state that 60-70% of European soils can be considered unhealthy. The Soil Deal for Europe aims to have 75% of EU soils healthy or significantly improved by 2030. Reaching such an ambition requires, among others, access to reliable, harmonised existing and new data and knowledge collected at local, national and EU levels to allow informed decision-making at all scales to support the Soil Health Law and the EU Soil Strategy.
SoilWise will provide an integrated and actionable access point to scattered and heterogeneous soil data and knowledge in Europe, making them FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and improve trust, willingness, and ability to share and re-use soil data and knowledge. In three project development cycles, co-creation and co-validation by multi-stakeholder groups are the centre of project activities. SoilWise recognises existing workflows and repositories for specific user needs and aims to work with them to enhance their discoverability, approachability and interconnection. An open, modular, scalable and extensible knowledge and data repository building on existing and new technologies will be provided while respecting data ownership, access policies and privacy. AI- and ML- techniques will be employed to interlink scattered data and knowledge, automatise the processes, infer new knowledge and increase FAIRness. SoilWise applies infrastructure thinking instead of project thinking to design a repository for at least a decade to support EUSO evolvement accordingly.
The SoilWise repository and community are designed to be a joint starting point and common ground for countries, the European Commission and other stakeholders to jointly guide soil and related spatial policy and informed decision-making towards the 2030 goals of the Green Deal, achieve healthy soils in 2050 and ensure broad uptake and implementation by land managers, policy, research and industry.
