​

On 15 March, the Soil Mission Support held a workshop on how to reduce the EU global footprint on soils as part of the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’. Annette Schneegans from the EU Soil Mission Secretariat introduced the mission’s agenda for the global footprint and Mathis Wackernagel from the Global Footprint Network introduced the depth and complexity of the topic. Discussions with participants revealed the many perspectives on what the global footprint on soils consists of and how we can measure it effectively. The workshop was a great first step to develop an ambitious area of research.​
