Soils Information System
The new Irish Soil Information System concludes a 5 year programme, supported by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (STRIVE Research Programme 2007-2013) and Teagasc, to develop a new 1:250,000 scale national soil map ( http://soils.teagasc.ie). Farming activities are critical in developing and shaping the rural landscape and environment of Ireland. Historically, farmers have engaged in soil resource protection out of necessity to sustain production capacity through generations. However, the way environmental protection is implemented at farm level is changing as EU member states enter an era of legislation driven by environmental protection initiatives at European and global scales, such as the United Nations Global Soil Partnership (see Nature 492, 186; 2012).
