Excursions 2022

To fulfil the societal challenges we need 3 to 6 times the land surface of the Netherlands. Sustainable multiple use of soil and land is needed. The excursion shows this in the Soil4U project in practice. Also examples will be shown where combinations of climate adaptation, improvement of biodiversity and the spatial quality are realized.
