Soils have achieved prominence in the political agenda of the European Commission with the proposal for a Soil Monitoring Law and the ambitious Soil Mission research framework. The EU Soil Observatory (EUSO) used the latest state‐of‐the‐art pan‐European datasets to propose a preliminary assessment of soil health in the EU based on 18 soil degradation proxy indicators. The body of knowledge will soon be enriched thanks to the investment of 1 billion euros towards the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’, which has the ambition to promote the development of new harmonized bottom‐up and top‐down soil health indicators. New data and knowledge are also anticipated through the national soil monitoring schemes to support the implementation of the Soil Monitoring Law. We present the Soil Mission roadmap towards assessing and achieving soil health in the EU by 2030 to meet Green Deal objectives. We introduce the EUSO Soil Health Dashboard, a soil degradation indicator tool using soil health indicators developed by the European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC) (2012–2023) that will contribute to Soil Monitoring Law assessments.

10 亿欧元的使命：欧洲的土壤协议

通过土壤监测法的提案和雄心勃勃的土壤使命研究框架，土壤在欧盟委员会的政治议程中占据了重要地位。欧盟土壤观测站 (EUSO) 使用最新的、最先进的泛欧洲数据集，根据 18 项土壤退化代理指标提出了对欧盟土壤健康的初步评估。由于对“欧洲土壤协议”使命的投资 10 亿欧元，知识体系将很快得到丰富，该使命的目标是促进新的自下而上和自上而下的统一土壤健康指标的开发。预计国家土壤监测计划还将提供新的数据和知识，以支持《土壤监测法》的实施。我们提出了土壤使命路线图，旨在到 2030 年评估和实现欧盟的土壤健康，以实现绿色协议的目标。我们介绍 EUSO 土壤健康仪表板，这是一种土壤退化指标工具，使用欧洲土壤数据中心 (ESDAC)（2012-2023）开发的土壤健康指标，将有助于土壤监测法评估。
