Promoted by the National Coordination Group for the Bioeconomy (CNBBSV) of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers[1] and Re Soil Foundation in collaboration with CREA and ISPRA, the General States for soil health were held for the first time on 10th November 2022 at Ecomondo, the international fair on the green and circular economy in Rimini. This year it hosted 100,000 visitors from 98 countries, with 130,000 m2 of exhibition space managed by 1,400 companies from 36 different countries. During the States General for soil health the European legislative framework and the actual situation at national level were illustrated, thanks to the participation of the main national and international speakers and experts. The aim was to develop a programmatic platform to support the development of an Italian Soil Strategy, through the analysis of the environmental, economic, legislative and social scenario, of good practices and multidisciplinary and multi-actor projects, which are already providing answers in this direction.
