Soil health is fundamental for maintaining agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Without healthy soils, farmers' ability to produce food sustainably is severely compromised. Salinization, by increasing the concentration of salts in the soil, degrades its structure, reduces its fertility, and makes it more susceptible to erosion, thereby jeopardizing its long-term productive capacity.  The NOVASOIL project represents a crucial initiative to address these challenges. NOVASOIL focuses on innovation and the implementation of sustainable solutions to improve soil management and mitigate the effects of salinization. This project promotes sustainable agricultural practices, advanced desalination techniques, and the development of salt-tolerant crops. Additionally, it aims to enhance the efficiency of irrigation water use, which is essential for reducing the accumulation of salts in the soil.

Compaction occurs when soil is compressed and becomes denser, reducing the amount of air and water available to plants and micro-organisms.Soil compaction is caused by a variety of factors, including heavy machinery traffic on wet soils, overgrazing, over-tillage and lack of crop rotation. Compaction can also get worse over time if nothing is done to reverse it.To maintain soil health, it is important to minimise compaction and restore soil structure where necessary. One way to do [&hellip;]
