Over iSQAPER

Good soil quality is of fundamental importance to both local and global food production and to ecosystem resilience. Agricultural soils world-wide are subject to threats and pressures including: increasing demand for food and biofuels, changing diets, land degradation and associated productivity decline, all made worse by climate change. Reliable knowledge and data help land users assess their soils and make well-informed decisions about its use. When information on alternative land use practices is easily available, it supports farmers in improving their land management.

iSQAPER aims to provide: interactive soil quality assessment in Europe and China for agricultural productivity and environmental resilience providing decision makers with science-based, easy to apply and cost-effective tools to manage soil quality and function.

iSQAPER is funded by: The European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for research & innovation under grant agreement no 635750; Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (grant nr:2016YFE011270); Chinese Academy of Sciences (grant nr:16146KYSB20150001); Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation.
