ORCaSa addresses carbon in soils, forests, pastures, wetlands, and urban areas, creating KP4SoilCarbon, a public soil carbon knowledge platform. KP4SoilCarbon will serve as a central hub for open-access soil data and knowledge.
International knowledge network.
Expanding dialogue on soil to provide better access to research, methods and practices.
Key innovations for sustainable land management.
3x more carbon contained in the world’s soils than in aboveground biomass.
Restoring the natural cycle.
Urbanization, industrial farming, and deforestation harm soil health, reducing its CO2 absorption capacity.
To date, Vizzuality has contributed to the definition of the technical specifications, the final design prototype, user specifications, design sketches for KP4SoilCarbon. In addition, we have contributed to the project’s communication and dissemination strategy. The platform is slated for release in June 2024.
