The EU Green Week Partner Event “Digital innovations for soil health” was held online on 3 June 2026, bringing together four European projects working on soil health, digital agriculture and sustainable farming innovation.
The webinar was organised in the framework of EU Green Week 2026, under the wider theme “Investing in nature, rewarding for people and business.” It created a space for projects, researchers and stakeholders to discuss how digital technologies can support healthier soils, more resilient farming systems and better decision making in agriculture.
The event featured contributions from WHEATWATCHER, STELLA, E-SPFdigit and NitroScope, each presenting a different perspective on the role of digital tools, sensing systems, monitoring platforms and stakeholder engagement in advancing soil health across Europe.
NitroScope field campaign insights
Our scientific coordinator, Muhammad Qaswar from Ghent University, presented “NitroScope: UGent Multi Sensor Platform for High Resolution Soil Sensing: 2026 Field Campaign Insights,” giving insights from the NitroScope project and early results from the use of high resolution soil sensing technologies in the field.
The presentation showed results from field scanning using visible and near infrared spectroscopy, with high resolution maps for soil properties such as organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium, pH, magnesium and calcium. These maps can help identify spatial variability within fields and support site specific nutrient management, helping to avoid both over application and under application of fertilisers.
For NitroScope, the webinar was an opportunity to present its work on nitrogen fluxes, advanced monitoring and sustainable nutrient management within a wider European discussion on soil health. By contributing field campaign insights and demonstrating the potential of multi sensor soil sensing, NitroScope supports the development of more accurate data, improved nitrogen management and more resilient agricultural systems.
