MEASURE: Soil health
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), food production will have to increase in the coming years to meet the growing needs of the world population. However, achieving adequate food production for global human nutrition faces the problem of insufficient resources and sometimes inadequate management. It then becomes increasingly clear that maintaining and improving the health of cultivated soils is a collective responsibility. Valorēs offers expertise in soil health for agriculture and horticulture operations. Our goal is to help better understand and improve soil management and other growth substrates to prevent soil degradation and preserve their multiple functions. Improved knowledge of soil composition (physical, hydric and chemical) makes it possible to support a more sustainable use of agricultural soils and allows a constant improvement of horticultural substrates.
