With Best4Soil we are building a community of practice network across Europe by inter-connecting growers, advisers, educators ... and researchers. This network promotes knowledge ready for practice on 4 best practices (compost, green manure, anaerobic disinfestation, (bio) solarisation) for the control of soil borne diseases. Therefore we build a website and organize meetings and events in 20 European countries where we exchange knowledge on soil health with our communities of practice. The main objective of the Best4Soil thematic network is to maintain, improve or re-establish soil health in Europe. We provide open-access databases with information on the range of pathogens and nematodes that affect vegetable, arable and cover crops to help practitioners to build appropriate crop rotations and innovative control strategies. Innovative control strategies are provided through easily understandable tutorial videos and through factsheets which give more in-depth information. All information is edited in 20 EU languages, will be freely accessible and highly comprehensible to guarantee a smooth knowledge transfer from research to practice. read more
