A new CEN Workshop is being planned which will complement the activities of the EU Research project "NeoGiANT". This initiative is developing natural antimicrobial products for the control and prevention of relevant diseases in animal production from agri-food byproducts.

The CEN Workshop specifies a methodology for identifying, characterizing, and implementing a single indicator to assess the quality and degradation of agricultural soils and the overall impact of the agriculture processes. The agriculture impacts are assessed through the mechanical, fertilization and irrigation activities associated. Furthermore, soil affection is evaluated accounting with soil erosion and parameters such as nutrients, texture, and organic matter. The developed methodology allows a simple but robust assessment of soil biogeochemical processes and the loss of fertility and degradation.
