Soil as a sustainable resource
Soil fertility is essential for sustainable plant production and, consequently, the basis for many bioeconomic value chains. From a sustainability perspective, soils need to provide not only marketable yields, but also several other ecosystem services. These include, i.e., the storage of water and carbon, filters for clean groundwater, and the maintenance of nutrient cycles and biodiversity. Sustainable soil management needs to combine and optimize all these aspects. The objective of BonaRes is to significantly expand and provide the required knowledge about the functionality of soils and to formulate reliable options for action. The BonaRes Programme currently funds ten interdisciplinary research consortia as well as the integrating BonaRes Centre for Soil Research
