This service determines soil biodiversity, one of the most important factors for determining soil health.
Environmental DNA technology is a time- and cost-effective way to assess soil biodiversity. Experts will analyse the collected DNA and deliver the results to the farmers and consumers in an accessible way (e.g. a certification system, soil fertility evaluation methods, proof of compliance, or when applying for national and European restoration grants).
