Research into natural resources goes back to a centuries-old tradition at the Faculty of Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Miskolc. In addition to raw materials research, soil research has become an important field, along with water and environment, and is also included as a competence center in the University's Science Park project – said Prof. Dr. Gábor Mósé, Dean of the Faculty, who opened the event called “Consortium of Hungarian Enterprises for Our Soils”.
The negative processes occurring on the basis of local soil research, the disappearance of forest soils, the accumulation of salts and the risk of desertification, draw attention to both soil quality research and the importance of finding solutions – stressed the President of the Hungarian Soil Science Society, Professor at the University of Miskolc, Professor Dr. Endre Dobos. He added: Fortunately, the circle of those trying to contribute to halting soil degradation by supporting cooperation between farmers, professional organizations and academic researchers is expanding.
Organizations supporting the efforts of the Hungarian Soil Association have confirmed by signing a statement of support that they are trying to promote climate-conscious land use through knowledge-intensive support for higher education.
At the event, AgriCon Hungary Kft., AgroPK, Agrova Kft./Phylazonit Kft., Axiál Kft., KITE Zrt., and the Professional Association of Hungarian Soil Protection Bacteria Manufacturers and Distributors, Mertcontrol HL-LAB presented a statement of support at the conference. The event was signed by Agricultural and Environmental Laboratory Kft.HL-LAB, Talajtérkép Kft., TerraAgro Talajvédelmi Kft., Bio-Nat Kft., Yara Hungária Kft., SYNGENTA, and representatives of the Talajmöjító Farmers Association.
