What is LIFE AgRemSO3il?
Life AgRemSO3il is a pilot project, at farm scale, that intends to develop and tune a new technology, with its associated techniques, for agrochemical remediation of farm soils by combining solarization and ozonation in situ. A prototype will be tested in commercial farms at real running scale to prove the technical, economical, and ecological feasibility of the innovation, which in this case refers to the technological applications and the methods used.
The project provides a new cost-effective solution for this ongoing, silent problem while supporting the soil’s true function as part of the wider ecosystem positively impacting the feed and food products produced, which have consequent effects on human health. The project also plans to integrate into its work Common Agriculture Policy’s environmental objectives and promote EU’s agriculture and environmental policies. Life Cycle of Analysis (LCA) and economic assessment, including governance which relates to legal and financial instruments, will be performed prior to the wide distribution of the system to other regions in Europe.

The Stakeholder Platform aims to integrate the views of several interest groups that have the potential to shape and influence with the contribution the overall project development and commercialization in the various stages of the project.
First tests with AGREMSO3IL Prototype give promising results
Essays carried out in practical real conditions using AGREMSOIL prototype installed in IMIDA´s experimental farm have provided “very satisfactory” results, according to Dr José Fenoll, scientific coordinator of LIFE-AGREMSO3IL.
The World Soil Day – Agremso3il effects
According to the United Nations, World Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.
How AGREMSO3IL project mitigates soil and water pollution
As we celebrate World Water Week (WWWeek), we are always reminded by the importance of water resources in our daily lives. According to the Government of the Netherlands, “water is key to the wellbeing and resilience of people, societies, and our global economy. Covid-19 has reminded us that water is at the heart of a range of key challenges.”
AGREMSO3IL Project Prototype Transfer
The prototype has been transferred to the pilot farm. On June 26th a very important milestone of the Agremso3il project took place.

OZONATION
Ozonation generates hydroxyl radicals with the help of light radiation to attack and destroy any organic molecules to CO2, H2O and mineral salts.
SOLARIZATION
Solarization is based on the placement of a transparent plastic on the floor during the summer months, when temperature and light radiation are more intense.
