World Soil Day

In Milan at 11am there will be a real "depraining", complete with pneumatic hammers to replace the asphalt with green: 900 square meters of waterproof surface will be returned to free soil and vegetation. This is the restoration of a surface capable of managing a volume of rainwater corresponding to over one million liters of water.

Soil4Life is a European project that involves different European partners Ispra, Cia agricoltori italiani, CCIVS, Crea, Ersaf, Politecnico di Milano, Roma Capitale e Zelena Istria, which aims to promote sustainable use of the soil as a strategic, limited and non-renewable resource. A goal in line with the commitment signed by the European countries at the United Nations table, through adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals – SDG.
