Special Feature: Soil and Sustainability: Raising the Game for European Agriculture

Summary:

This month's special feature looks at the more sustainable, environmentally conscious agricultural methods being pioneered by innovative researchers across Europe.  Also included are a couple of projects working to decontaminate and help breathe new life into spoiled soil.  The Project of the Month showcases a new and very large industry and EU-funded consortium, the CARE project, which will be working to identify and develop new and effective therapies to successfully treat COVID-19.  Meanwhile, Life After catches up with a cutting-edge Spanish SME and the successful launch of its nature-based weight management solution in markets spanning from the US, to Europe, to Asia.  Finally, EU Agenda details some of the important events taking place in November.
