Soil Improving Cropping Systems for Sustainable and Profitable Farming in Europe / / Guido Wyseure, Julián Cuevas González, Jean Poesen, editors.

A major challenge for the future is combining both the profitability and sustainability of agriculture. The European H2020 project SoilCare aims to identify, test, and evaluate soil-improving cropping systems (SICS) which contribute to the implementation of agricultural solutions across Europe (See:...
