Prof. Dr. Claudio Zaccone

University of Verona

Claudio Zaccone is Associate Professor in Agricultural Chemistry at the University of Verona, President of the Italian Society of Soil Science, and Chair of Division 4 of the International Union of Soil Sciences. Main research interests are the mechanisms of carbon sequestration in soils and the sustainable utilization of waste biomass in agriculture.

Presentation:
Sustainable utilization of agricultural soil, in a climate change scenario

Key Points:
• Soils provide >90% of global food production.
• Soils are highly degraded, and C loss is a main cause.
• Climate change will affect soil fertility.
• Preserving soil organic C is crucial for climate change mitigation and food security.
