Soil health matters

Healthy soil is indispensable for sustainable food production and carbon capture. Eurofins Agro offers indispensable tools to optimise soil management. With these, farmers and land owners can make their contribution to a liveable world.

Our Soil Health Solutions products provide insights into physical soil health (supporting the efficient use of water), potential contaminants in soil, biological soil health (to determine the biodiversity status of soil and effective actions to regenerate it) and chemical soil health (to prevent yield gaps and improve food quality).

What’s important to us

Sustainable development goals

Eurofins Agro Testing is deeply committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We believe that healthy soils are the foundation for sustainable land use and a thriving planet. Good soil health not only ensures productive farming, vital nature and forest systems, and healthy cities, but also contributes directly to seven of the 17 SDGs.

No poverty (SDG 1)

Healthy soils empower farmers, strengthen food systems, and build resilience - key drivers for ending poverty.

Zero Hunger (SDG 2)

By stimulating good soil health, yield gaps will decrease. Healthy soil is therefore the foundation for the production of sufficient, nutritious food.

Good health and well-being (SDG 3)

Healthy soils create safer food systems (crop health) which directly improve human well-being.

Clean water (SDG 6)

Healthy soil life helps filter and purify water. This reduces the risk of water pollution and increases the availability of clean (drinking) water.

Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11)

Healthy soils are essential for green infrastructure, climate resilience, and sustainable food systems - key components of SDG 11.

Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12)

Good soil health enables sustainable farming practices that reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimise environmental harm - core principles of SDG 12.

Climate action (SDG 13)

Healthy soils help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon. Soil life plays a critical role in ensuring healthy soils to support sequestration.

Life on land (SDG 15)

Healthy soil is essential for supporting biodiversity and protecting natural ecosystems for people, animals and plants.

Better insights

Analysing all components helps identify factors that may influence and modify the agri-food system.

Tools for sustainability

We believe that providing tools for the system approach contributes to improving crop productivity and quality, and to nutritional security and environmental sustainability.

Supporting farmers and growers

We help farmers optimise farm management for better yields and resource efficiency.

Enabling food companies

Food and feed companies can prove sustainable production with our reliable data.

Guiding governments and research

Governments and researchers use our tools for monitoring soil and crop health and achieving SDGs.
