Modern agriculture is facing many ambitious goals set up by European Union, international negotiations, as well as National Development Strategy. Climate Neutral Economy, Green Deal, Global Soil Partnership, etc. are some of initiatives focusing on smart, balanced and watchful use of soil resources. The adaption to climate change, reduction of greenhouse gasses emissions, and maintenance of soil quality require specific knowledge and detailed information about the soil resources. Therefore, a 3-year project (2021–2023) has been started, which is led by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Latvia in cooperation with the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research. The main activities of the Project are three. The first activity is the development of modern, country-specific soil information database for agricultural land. It includes synergy of all possible existing soil information and new survey data into the unified data set developed according to international standards and applicable for all modern data users and technologies. The second activity is the establishment of National soil carbon monitoring system (200 polygons), where changes in soil organic matter stocks affected by natural factors and human activity will be studied. The third activity is the improvement of some parameters related to the soil conditions and used by the National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission calculation system to better fit the local conditions. The Project is financed by the Norwegian Financial Mechanism’s pre-defined project “Enhancement of sustainable land soil resource management in agriculture” (E2SOILAGRI).
