ORCaSa
Since 2022, ORCaSa stands for operationalising the Soil Carbon IRC (International Research Consortium). This Horizon Europe project seeks to address the issue of increasing carbon emissions from human activities, which have led to a disruption in the balance of organic carbon absorbed and stored in the soil to support plant growth.
ORCaSa supports the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ of the Horizon Europe research programme, which bears the implementation of the EU Soil Strategy by finding solutions to protect and restore soil health. It is estimated that between 60 and 70% of EU soil is unhealthy.
