Project overview
New chance for Polluted Lands: Recovery of agricultural soil function by non-food farming and adapted soil management at degraded sites
In many of our regions, agricultural soils are contaminated by various pollutants. Moreover, these lands are still used for growing food or animal feed, leading to an uncontrolled uptake of pollutants into the human food chain. The PoLaRecCE project works on a sustainable land management programme and tests cutting-edge tools and techniques to remediate degraded soils for non-food agricultural production. The partners disseminate knowledge gained from pilot areas and propose economically viable solutions to support the agricultural production of non-foods or environmentally-friendly conversion of contaminated soils.
