Towards sustainable management of land and soil

Europe's land and soil face a number of pressures, including urban expansion, contamination from
agriculture and industry, soil sealing, landscape fragmentation, low crop diversity, soil erosion and
extreme weather events linked to climate change.
Greener cities with cleaner energy and transport systems, a green infrastructure connecting green areas,
less intensive sustainable agricultural practices can help make Europe's land use more sustainable and
soils healthier.
