17 Soil, science and society The societal agenda for the soil sciences has dramatically changed... and this asks for new and more diverse kinds of soil information
18 ISRIC - World Soil Information Founded in 1966, upon recommendation of UNESCO, FAO and the IUSS Independent foundation based in Wageningen Cooperation agreement with Wageningen University. 20 staff, plus guest employees, plus students Accredited as the World Data Centre for Soils by the International Council for Science Participating Organisation of the Intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO)
19 ISRIC - World Soil Information ISRIC produces quality-assured soil information together with our partners at global, national and regional levels. ISRIC supports the use of this information to address global challenges through capacity building, awareness raising and direct cooperation with users and clients.
20 ISRIC - World Soil Information Soil Data Reference and Standard Setting
21 Soil Data
22 Soil Data «Better Together»
23 The Global Soil Partnership Partners: governments, knowledge institutions, NGOs Goal: enhance sustainable soil management Pillars 1-5 (thematic) Regional partnerships Global Implementation plans (per pillar) Regional Implementation plans (all pillars) ITPS (technical back-up)
24 Pillars of Action Pillar 1: Soil Management Promote sustainable management of soil resources Pillar 2: Awareness Raising Encourage investment, technical cooperation, policy, education, awareness and extension in soil Pillar 3: Research Promote targeted soil research and development focusing on identified gaps, priorities and synergies Pillar 4: Information and data Enhance the quantity and quality of soil data and information Pillar 5: Harmonisation Harmonisation of methods, measurements and indicator for the sustainable management of soil
25 Soil Information
26 Soil information Soil Profile database > profiles Ongoing process
27 From points to maps ( grids )
28 SoilGrids Automated soil information system Using profile data and spatial information (covariates) Machine learning algorithms 250m * 250m resolution Accessible through web service and mobile phone app Updatable Open data Moving towards crowdsourcing
29 SoilGrids: clay content at -15 cm (%)
30 SoilGrids: SOC stock cm (ton/ha)
31 ISRIC - World Soil Information Capacity Building
32 World Soil Museum
33 Yearly spring school
34 ISRIC - World Soil Information Impact!
35 Using soil information: higher yields through development of site specific fertilisers
36 Agricultural yield gap
37 Future challenges
38 The challenge Sustainable Food production and.. Ecosystem Services Climate change Water regulation Biodiversity Human health The challenge is to find the synergies!
