Description of a workshop on 'Earth observation for soil health monitoring; obstacles and proposals in overcoming them' held on 7 November 2024. The report is an addition to PREPSOIL 5.2, which contains a review of scientific knowledge (bibliography, expert opinions, current EU projects), an inventory of the technological resources mobilised (vectors, sensors, current and planned products, services), and the identification of obstacles to greater use of Earth observations for soil monitoring and measurement needs to reduce/minimise these difficulties.
