“…In a later article, Keesstra et al [17] show the links among degradation processes, ecosystem services and SDGs, and also provide the link among SDGs, concepts in soil, land and water management, biological, chemical and physical processes, and societal challenges. In the final report entitled "Providing support in relation to the implementation of soil and land related Sustainable Development Goals at EU level", Keesstra et al [18] relate soil-related SDG targets to soilbased/soil-related SDG indicators with relevant soil functions/properties and with suggested minimum soil indicators to be monitored.…”

Education must prepare students to find solutions for the global and local challenges of today and the future, by conferring students the knowledge, skills and attitudes to address them, including environmental degradation. Soils perform a number of key environmental, social and economic functions (e.g. production of food and biomass, nutrient cycling, water filter, climate control). Various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are connected with soil. Sustainable soil use is crucial for many SDGs. Target 2.4 of SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) mentions the implementation of resilient agricultural practices to improve land and soil quality. Target 3.9 of the SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing) indicates that the number of deaths and illnesses from soil pollution and contamination must be substantially reduced. Target 12.4 of SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) mentions reducing the release of chemicals to soil to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Target 15.3 of SDG 15 (Life on Land) includes the restoration of degraded soil. Although soil is not mentioned in other SDG targets, it is related to other SDGs. We present the results of the analysis of the activity performed by the students related to soil and SDGs and the transversal competence "knowledge of contemporary problems". In the activity, the students were asked to write down with reasons the SDGs that soil is related to. Afterward, they were asked to write down soil degradation processes and their consequences for people lives and the environment. Next the students worked in groups on the link between soil functions and soil degradation processes using communication material designed by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Finally, they answered a questionnaire, and five open questions to explain the link between soil and the SDGs 2, 3, 6, 13 and 15. The students gave a value of 9.1 out of 10 to the importance of knowledge toward an integrated approach to the environment. The students rated the importance of studying Soil Science to increase their ability to perceive and realize the existence and uniqueness of soils with 8.7 out of 10. The need to raise awareness about soils among people who are not in direct contact with soils was rated with 9.2 out of 10. The students who knew that the SDGs have 169 targets were 85%. The students related the statement "Women remain a minority in soil science" to SDGs 5 (Gender Equality) and 10 (Reduced inequalities). Ninety-five percent of the students stated that "zero hunger" is not only a question of crop production, but it is also related to the quality of education, malnutrition, etc. All the students stated that there is now scientific evidence that healthy soils support nutritious and healthy food and, therefore, contribute to people's health. When students were asked about the origin of toxicity in the soil that can affect human health, 50% named heavy metals, 35% radioactive elements, 35% organic chemicals, and 15% diseases due to exposure to soil organisms. The students were aske...

De Bodemkaart en Geomorfologische Kaart van Nederland, schaal 1:50.000, zijn kaartbestanden van bodem en landvormen in Nederland. Deze bestanden zijn onderdeel van de Basisregistratie Ondergrond (BRO), een centrale registratie met publieke gegevens over de Nederlandse ondergrond. Wageningen Environmental Research (WENR) onderhoudt deze bestanden voor het ministerie van LNV. Dit rapport presenteert verbeterde en recente informatie over bodem en landvormen in delen van de Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Gelderse Vallei en Veluwe, die is ingewonnen bij de actualisatie en revisie van de Bodemkaart en Geomorfologische Kaart in 2020 en 2021. Het geeft daarnaast voorbeelden van hoe de kaarten gezamenlijk kunnen worden toegepast voor enkele vraagstukken over inrichting en beheer van het bodem-watersysteem in de Gelderse Vallei. De voorbeelden zijn ontleend aan de Blauwe Omgevingsvisie 2050 van het Waterschap Vallei en Veluwe.
